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?


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
The purpose of this activity is for students to choose methods flexibly for finding the value of differences. Students might subtract by place, count on, or make an easier problem. There is no right answer to which method should be used for each problem. Students should choose a method that makes sense to them and justify their choice (MP3).
Engagement: Provide Access by Recruiting Interest.
Provide choice. Invite students to decide the order of the problems to complete the task. They can choose to work through in any order.
Supports accessibility for: Social-Emotional Functioning, Organization
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Base-ten blocks
Launch
Groups of 2
Give students access to base-ten blocks.
“We’ve learned how to decompose units to subtract by place and different ways to represent that. We’ve also learned other methods for subtracting. We use them when they make sense to us or when they make sense for the numbers in an expression.”
Activity
“Find the value of each expression using a method that makes sense to you. You’ll have a chance to share your work with others.”
6 minutes: independent work time
Monitor for expressions that most students find the same way and expressions that many students find in different ways.
“Find a partner who found the value of _____ the same way as you.”
1–2 minutes: partner discussion
“Now find a partner that found the value of _____ in a different way than you. Share your thinking.”
2–3 minutes: partner discussion
Repeat for additional expressions as desired.
Student Facing
Find the value of each expression in a way that makes sense to you. Show your thinking. Organize it so it can be followed by others.
\(535 - 214\)
\(700 - 589\)
\(683 - 398\)
\(918 - 608\)
\(735 - 457\)
\(602 - 487\)

Advancing Student Thinking
If students use the same method for each problem, ask students to think about how they could use Jada’s way to find the value of
\(701 - 599\)
. Consider asking:
“What do you notice about the numbers in this expression that makes it easier to use Jada’s way?”
“What other expressions do you see where you might try Jada’s way?”
Activity Synthesis
Have 3–4 students share a method or representation that someone they talked to shared.
“What methods or representations do you want to try more?”
