Concept/skill: 
Fluently add and subtract multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to whole numbers less than or equal to 1,000,000.

Problem/activity:
Problem 1
Solve using the standard algorithm. If you get stuck, use an area model and/or the partial products algorithm to help. Then assess the reasonableness of your answer.
a.
$$5,803\times46$$
b.
$$63\times2,116$$
Problem 2
Dunkin' introduced a croissant doughnut in 2014. In the first three months of its debut, they sold 7,870 dozen of them per day. How many croissant doughnuts were sold in the first three months?


Answer: 
No. This set of problems does not directly involve adding or subtracting multi-digit whole numbers. Instead, it focuses on multiplying multi-digit whole numbers.

Now, assess whether the following problem or activity is 'aligned' with the given Common Core standard in Mathematics.

5
standard_description: Count to 120, starting at any number less than 120. In this range, read and write numerals and represent a number of objects with a written numeral.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to compare methods that can be used to count numbers between 100 and 999. Students see images of beans that are put in groups of 5 and another in groups of 10. A third image uses groups of 100, groups of 10, and single beans. Students make connections to place value and their understanding of the base-ten structure (MP2, MP7). They also consider opportunities for accuracy and efficiency when they articulate pros and cons for each method.
Launch
Groups of 2
Display image of a cup of beans or display a cup of beans.
Read the context aloud.
Activity
1 minute: quiet think time
5 minutes: small-group discussion
Monitor for students who:
describe the organization and group sizes in each method
describe Clare’s method in terms of hundreds, tens, and ones
discuss ideas such as efficiency (how long it takes) and accuracy (chances of mistakes)

Activity Synthesis
Invite previously selected students to share their observations.
“Which of these strategies do you believe would be the fastest or slowest? Explain.”
“Do you think it would be easier to make a mistake using one of these strategies? Which one and why?”
“Which strategy do you prefer? Why?”
