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 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.

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.

standard_description: Identify the shapes of two-dimensional cross-sections of three-dimensional objects, and identify three-dimensional objects generated by rotations of two-dimensional objects.
problem_activity: Narrative
The goal of this activity is for students to examine different ways to write the product of a three-digit number and a two-digit number as a sum of partial products. Students match sets of partial products which can be put together to make the full product. Students are provided blank diagrams, familiar from the previous lesson, that they may choose to use to support their reasoning. In the activity synthesis, students relate the expressions and diagrams to equations to prepare them to analyze symbolic notation for partial products in the next activity.
When students relate partial products and diagrams to the product
\(245 \times 35\)
they look for and identify structure (MP7).
MLR8 Discussion Supports.
Display the following sentence frame to support small-group discussion: “I noticed _____ , so I matched . . . .” Encourage students to challenge each other when they disagree.

“What product does this rectangle represent?” (
\(245 \times 35\)
)
“Today, you are going to take turns with your partner picking expressions that can be added together to give the product
\(245 \times 35\)
. You can use the diagrams to explain your reasoning, if they are helpful.”
Activity
10 minutes: partner work time
Monitor for students who:
use the diagram to determine which expressions they will use.
look at the expressions and think about how they could be used to find the full product.
compute the full product in different ways.

Advancing Student Thinking
If students do not choose correct expressions to represent a sum that is equal to
\(245 \times 35\)
, refer to one of the empty boxes in the diagram and ask, “Which multiplication expression represents this partial product?”
Activity Synthesis
Invite previously selected students to share their strategies. As students share, record their reasoning with equations.
Display:
\(245 \times 30 + 245 \times 5  = 245 \times 35\)
“How do you know this equation is true?” (I can put the 30 and 5 together since they are both multiplied by 245. I see that
\(245 \times 30\)
is the top part of the diagram and
\(245 \times 5\)
is the bottom part. Together that’s the whole diagram.)
