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?


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

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: Partition circles and rectangles into two and four equal shares, describe the shares using the words halves, fourths, and quarters, and use the phrases half of, fourth of, and quarter of. Describe the whole as two of, or four of the shares. Understand for these examples that decomposing into more equal shares creates smaller shares.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is to introduce the language of
a half of
and
a fourth of
a
shape. Students begin by applying the language of halves and fourths, or quarters, to partition each shape. Students are asked to describe “how much” of each shape is shaded to elicit a variety of responses that include half, fourth, or quarter, including the phrases “of the square” or “of the circle.” Monitor for a variety of words and phrases to share in the synthesis including:
phrases that reference the pieces only (“one piece”).
phrases that reference that some, but not all of the shape is shaded (“part of it,” “a little bit”)
phrases that name the pieces (“a half,” “a fourth,” “a quarter”)
phrases that name the pieces in reference to the whole shape (“a half of the square,” “a fourth of the circle”)
All responses should be shared and compared in the synthesis to help build students understanding of the new vocabulary and the concept of fractional pieces of a whole (MP6).
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Colored pencils or crayons
Launch
Groups of 2
Give students access to colored pencils or crayons.
Activity
Read the task statement.
2 minutes: independent work time.
2 minutes: partner discussion
Monitor for a range of ways to describe the amount shaded such as “some is shaded,” “one piece of the square is shaded,” “one out of two pieces is shaded,” or “a half is shaded.”
Student Facing
Split the square into halves.

Activity Synthesis
Invite previously identified students to share for each problem. Sequence the students in the order described in the narrative.
“One piece of a shape split into two pieces that are the same size is called
a half
. One piece of a shape split into four pieces that are the same size is called
a fourth
.”
For each shape, invite students to describe how much is colored in. (A half of the square is colored in. A fourth of the circle is colored in.)
