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: Read and write multi-digit whole numbers using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form. Compare two multi-digit numbers based on meanings of the digits in each place, using >, =, and < symbols to record the results of comparisons.

problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this warm-up is to draw students’ attention to the first few multiples of 45, which will be helpful as students continue to work with benchmark angles and use a protractor to measure angles. Students have the skills to perform the multiplication in each equation, but computing each product may be time-consuming. Students can more efficiently tell if the equations are true or false if they consider properties of operations and look for and make use of structure.
Launch
Display one equation.
“Give me a signal when you know whether the equation is true and can explain how you know.”
1 minute: quiet think time
Activity
Share and record answers and strategy.
Repeat with each statement.
Student Facing
Decide if each statement is true or false. Be prepared to explain your reasoning.
\(2 \times 45 = 6 \times 15\)
\(4 \times 45 = 2 \times 90\)
\(3 \times 45 = 180 - 90\)
\(6 \times 45 = 45 + 90 + 135\)

Activity Synthesis
Some students may notice that it is handy to think in terms of
\(2 \times 45\)
because it would mean dealing with multiples of 90 rather than multiples of 45. Highlight their explanations.
If no students decomposed expressions such as
\(3 \times 45\)
,
\(4 \times 45\)
, and
\(6 \times 45\)
into sums of
\(1 \times 45\)
and
\(2 \times 45\)
, discuss how this could be done. (See sample responses.)
