Topic options: 
A. Number & Operations - Fractions: students learn to understand fractions as numbers and may work with them using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
B. Operations & Algebra: students learn to solve problems using algebraic thinking and operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. They may learn to identify and explain arithmetic patterns, evaluate or manipulate numerical expressions, and reason with equations and inequalities.
C. Modeling: students learn to choose and use appropriate mathematics and statistics to analyze real-world empirical situations, improve decisions, and report on their conclusions and the reasoning behind them.
D. Number & Operations in Base Ten: students learn to work with the base-ten system and build place value understanding.
E. Ratios & Proportional Relationships: students learn to recognize, describe, represent, and reason with ratios, rates, proportional relationships, and percent.
F. Number Systems and Quantity: students learn to understand the complex number system and reason quantitatively.
G. Counting & Cardinality: students learn to know number names and the count sequence, count to tell the number of objects, and compare numbers.
H. Measurement & Data: students learn to work with data and measure attributes such as time, money, length, area, and volume. They may learn to compare measurements to operations and convert between different units of measure.
I. Geometry: students learn to classify geometric figures by their properties, and understand and compare the relationships between them. Students develop and use formulas to compute lengths, areas, and volumes, and they use transformations to generate new shapes and compare existing ones. Geometry can be studied with and without coordinates.
J. Functions: students learn to define, use, and evaluate functions to model relationships between quantities.
K. Statistics & Probability: students learn to analyze and produce data distributions, and build understanding of univariate and bivariate data. They learn to interpret data, make statistical inferences, justify conclusions, understand rules of probability, and use probability to make decisions.

problem_activity: Narrative
Previously, students multiplied two factors where one factor was a whole number and the other a teen number. The purpose of this activity is for students to make sense of multiplication of a one-digit number and a two-digit number greater than 20. Students analyze representations used to find
\(4 \times 23\)
and articulate reasons for using strategies that are based on the distributive property and place value to find products (MP7). Along the way, they see that decomposing the two-digit factors into tens and ones is particularly helpful for multiplying. They also reinforce what they know about the connections between area diagrams and multiplication expressions.
MLR8 Discussion Supports.
Before partner work, remind students to use words such as decompose, tens, and ones.

“Take a minute to make sense of how Clare and Andre represented

.”
1 minute: quiet think time
Give students access to grid paper and base-ten blocks.
Activity
“Now, work with your partner to complete the first two problems about
\(4 \times 23\)
.”
8–10 minutes: partner work time
Monitor for the diagrams that students choose in Diego’s problem and for their explanations.
Pause for a discussion. Invite students to share their responses.
If not mentioned by students, clarify that all diagrams can be used to multiply 4 and 23, but not all are equally practical.
Select a student to explain why diagram D might be more productive than the other diagrams.
“Now, work independently to complete the last problem.”
2–3 minutes: independent work time

Advancing Student Thinking
If students choose a diagram in the second problem that doesn't help them find the product of
\(4\times23\)
, consider asking:
“Tell me about how you chose which diagram you would use to find the value of
\(4\times23\)
.”
“Is there another diagram that would make finding the value of
\(4\times23\)
easier? How would it make it easier?”
Activity Synthesis
“What representations did you use in the last question to show
\(3 \times 28\)
? How did they help you find the product?” (Base-ten blocks helped me break the 28 into tens and ones. A diagram with a grid helped me break 28 into smaller numbers. A diagram with no grid helped me think about the numbers as I labeled it without worrying about all the little squares.)
