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?


Standard options: 
A. Add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals to hundredths, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method and explain the reasoning used.
B. Find whole-number quotients of whole numbers with up to four-digit dividends and two-digit divisors, using strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.
C. Fluently multiply multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.


Your response:
C

options: Determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or division equation relating three whole numbers. For example, determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in each of the equations 8 × ? = 48, 5 = �� ÷ 3, 6 × 6 = ?.

Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems in situations involving equal groups, arrays, and measurement quantities, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.

Interpret whole-number quotients of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 56 ÷ 8 as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned equally into 8 shares, or as a number of shares when 56 objects are partitioned into equal shares of 8 objects each. For example, describe a context in which a number of shares or a number of groups can be expressed as 56 ÷ 8.

Interpret products of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 5 × 7 as the total number of objects in 5 groups of 7 objects each. For example, describe a context in which a total number of objects can be expressed as 5 × 7.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to apply their knowledge from previous activities to draw arrays to match multiplication expressions. Have connecting cubes or counters available for students who need them. In the launch, students use their bodies to make an array for the expression
\(4\times6\)
. Feel free to adjust this expression to better fit the number of students in your class.
Launch
Groups of 2
Display
\(4\times6\)
“Work together as a class to use your bodies to create an array for this multiplication expression.”
If the number of students does not exactly match the product, ask extra students to monitor the array and be prepared to explain where they see parts of the expression in the array.
3–5 minutes: whole-class work time
Activity
“Work with your partner to draw an array for each multiplication expression. Be ready to share connections you notice between the multiplication expressions and arrays.”
2–3 minutes: partner work time
Student Facing
Draw an array for each multiplication expression. Be prepared to share your reasoning.
\(2\times3\)
\(5\times2\)
\(4\times4\)

Advancing Student Thinking
If students draw equal groups that are not arrays, consider asking:
“How did you use the expression to create your drawing?”
“How could we rearrange your drawing into an array?”
Activity Synthesis
Share an array or two for each expression.
“What connections did you and your partner see between the multiplication expressions and arrays?” (The factors tell us how many things are in each row and column. For
\(2\times3\)
, we drew an array with 2 columns that have 3 things in each column. For
\(2\times3\)
, we drew an array with 2 rows that have 3 things in each row.)
