Problem 2
Kim has a small container and a large container as shown.
[IMG]
It takes 16 of the small containers to fill the large container. Three small containers leave 1.95 gallons of space in the big container.
What is the size of each of the two containers?


Standard options: 
A. Solve linear equations in one variable.
B. Analyze and solve pairs of simultaneous linear equations.


Your response:
Thought: The last three rows of the table in the first problem involves solving pairs of simultaneous linear equations. The second word problem can also be represented as two simultaneous linear equations.
Answer: B

Now, assign the following problem or activity to one or more relevant standards it aligns with.

options: Fluently multiply multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.

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.

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.
problem_activity: Narrative
The goal of this activity is to multiply numbers with no restrictions on the number of new units composed. Students first multiply a 3-digit number by a 1-digit number and a 3-digit number by a 2-digit number with no ones. They can then put these two results together to find the product of a 3-digit and 2-digit number with many carries. They then solve one more 3-digit and 2-digit example with no scaffold. Because these calculations have new units composed in almost every place value, students will need to locate and use the composed units carefully. It gives students a reason to attend to the features of their calculation and to use language precisely (MP6).
Engagement: Develop Effort and Persistence.
Chunk this task into more manageable parts. Check in with students to provide feedback and encouragement after each chunk.
Supports accessibility for: Organization, Conceptual Processing
Launch
“You are going to find products with many new composed units. As you work, think carefully about where you place these values.”
Activity
8–10 minutes: independent work time
3–5 minutes: partner discussion
Monitor for students who use the results of the first two calculations to find the third, and for students who correctly compose all the new place values.
Student Facing
Find the value of each product using the standard algorithm.
\(647 \times 9\)
\(647 \times 50\)
\(647 \times 59\)
\(264 \times 38\)

Activity Synthesis
Display the expression:
\(647 \times 59\)
.
“How did you use the first two calculations to help with the third problem?” (They gave me the two partial products for the product
\(647 \times 59\)
, so I just had to add them up.)
Invite students to share their responses for the last product, focusing on the newly composed units.
