Concept/skill: 
Fluently multiply multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.

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: 
Yes. This set of problems involves multi-digit whole numbers because the numbers in each problem are four and two digit integers, and the mathematical calculations involved in both problems focus on multiplication. The first problem explicitly asks the student to solve its subproblems using the standard algorithm.

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

standard_description: Explain patterns in the number of zeros of the product when multiplying a number by powers of 10, and explain patterns in the placement of the decimal point when a decimal is multiplied or divided by a power of 10. Use whole-number exponents to denote powers of 10.
problem_activity: Stage 2: Ones Cubes
Required Preparation
Materials to Gather
Base-ten blocks
Materials to Copy
Blackline Masters
Grab and Count Stage 2 Recording Sheet

Narrative
Each student grabs a handful of ones cubes and puts them together with their partner’s. They estimate how many cubes there are and then count the cubes. Students record their estimate and the actual number of cubes on the recording sheet.
Variation:
Students can count their own group of cubes first and record an equation to represent the total number of cubes.
Additional Information
Each group of 2 needs around 80 ones cubes from the base-ten block set.
