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.

problem_activity: Narrative
In this Info Gap activity, students solve abstract multi-step problems involving an arrangement of angles with several unknown measurements. By now students have the knowledge and skills to find each unknown value, but the complexity of the diagram and the Info Gap structure demand that students carefully make sense of the visual information and look for entry points for solving the problems. They need to determine what information is necessary, ask for it, and persevere if their initial requests do not yield the information they need (MP1). The process also prompts them to refine the language they use and ask increasingly more precise questions until they get useful input (MP6).
Here is an image of the cards for reference:

Required Materials
Materials to Copy
Info Gap: Whole Bunch of Angles
Required Preparation
Create a set of cards from the blackline master for each group of 2.
Launch
Groups of 2
MLR4 Information Gap
Display the task statement, which shows a diagram of the Info Gap structure.
1–2 minutes: quiet think time
Read the steps of the routine aloud.
“I will give you either a problem card or a data card. Silently read your card. Do not read or show your card to your partner.”
Distribute the cards.
“The diagram is not drawn accurately, so using a protractor to measure is not recommended.”
1–2 minutes: quiet think time
Remind students that after the person with the problem card asks for a piece of information, the person with the data card should respond with “Why do you need to know (restate the information requested)?”
Activity
5 minutes: partner work time
After students solve the first problem, distribute the next set of cards. Students switch roles and repeat the process with Problem Card 2 and Data Card 2.
Student Facing
Your teacher will give you either a problem card or a data card. Do not show or read your card to your partner.
[IMG]
Pause here so your teacher can review your work. Ask your teacher for a new set of cards and repeat the activity, trading roles with your partner.

Advancing Student Thinking
Some students may be overwhelmed by the visual information. Ask them to try isolating a part of the diagram at a time, covering other parts that are not immediately relevant.
Activity Synthesis
Select students to share how they found each angle measure. Record their reasoning and highlight equations that clearly show the relationships between angles.
“Which angle measurements were easy to find? What made them easy?” (Sample response:
\(p\)
and
\(d\)
, because it was fairly easy to see that each of them and a neighboring angle make a straight angle.)
“Which ones were a bit more involved? Why?” (Sample response:
\(e\)
, because there are 5 angles that meet at that point. We needed to find
\(a\)
or
\(d\)
before finding
\(e\)
.)
