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: Write arithmetic and geometric sequences both recursively and with an explicit formula, use them to model situations, and translate between the two forms.
problem_activity: Activity
The mathematical purpose of this activity is to make, critique, and justify claims using the data-generating process. Students flip a coin to determine the number of heads that show up for several groups of 20 flips. Students should recognize that some variability is expected from the expected 10 heads that are predicted for 20 flips, but that some results are very unlikely even if they are possible. Students should begin to recognize when a statistical model is consistent with results and when the data is so unusual that a new model might be more appropriate.
In later lessons, students will need to recognize when a normal curve is an appropriate model for data so that the area under a normal curve can be used to get information about the data.

Launch
Tell students that they will be flipping coins, recording the data, and reporting their results so that a dot plot can be created from class data. Monitor students as they flip their coins in the applet and collect data from the class to be included in a dot plot.
Action and Expression: Internalize Executive Functions.
Provide students with a template so they can keep track of the data for each trial of coin flipping.

What is the probability that you will flip heads when using the coin in the applet?
Estimate the number of heads you will get when you flip the coin 20 times.
Flip your coin 20 times and record the number of heads you get. Repeat this process 4 more times.
|  trial number   | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
|-----------------|---|---|---|---|---|
| number of heads |   |   |   |   |   |
Create a dot plot that shows the number of heads in 20 flips using data from the class.
What is the least number of heads flipped by the class in 20 flips? What is the greatest number of heads flipped by the class in 20 flips?
Based on the class dot plot, describe a range of values that represent a reasonable number of heads to flip when flipping 20 times.
Priya flips her coin 20 times and it lands showing heads twice.
Is it possible for this to happen with a fair coin?
Based on the class distribution, should she be suspicious of this being an unfair coin? What can she do to provide evidence that it’s not a fair coin?

Are you ready for more?
This time instead of flipping the coin 20 times and counting how many heads result, consider how many coin flips it takes to get a heads.
Before flipping estimate the average number of flips it will take to get your fist heads.
Flip! Record how many flips it takes to get your first heads. Then start again and record how many flips it takes to get your next heads. Keep flipping and recording how many flips it takes to get successive heads until you get 30 heads. Create a dot plot that shows how many flips it took each time to get a heads and compute the mean number of times it took.
Based on the dot plot, describe a range of values that represent a reasonable number of coin flips it takes to get a heads.

Anticipated Misconceptions
Some students may be uncomfortable with the less precise answers for the work in this unit and this activity in particular. Remind students that the actual world is messy and the work of statistics is to help make sense of that messiness. Math is not proving Priya has a fair coin or not, but can give us evidence to suspect that it is not and a decision can be made based on that evidence and anything else that is known about the situation.
Activity Synthesis
The purpose of this discussion is to talk about making and justifying claims based on data. Here are some questions for discussion:
“You performed 20 coin flips 5 times. Based on your data alone, what range of values would you predict for the number of times the coin would land on heads if it was flipped 20 times?” (I got 8, 9, 10, 12, 13 heads so I would predict that a coin would land on heads between 7 and 13 times. I included seven in my estimate because 13 is 3 above ten and 7 is 3 less than 10. The coin should land on heads an average of 10 times.)
“How does your prediction compare to the range of values you described from the class's data? Why do you think it was the same or different? Explain your reasoning.” (My range was smaller than the range from the whole class data. Since there was much more data for the whole class, I expected there to be a broader range of values since there was likely to be more variability.)
“If 1,000 people flipped a coin 20 times, how might that change your prediction from the rage for the class's data?” (If we had 1,000 data values, I would feel really confident about the range of values that I would expect from 20 coin flips. I know that it is possible to get between 0 and 20 heads, but I wonder how unlikely it really is to get 0 or 20. I think the 1,000 data values would help me to know a typical range of values.)
