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:
{
  "explanation": "This set of problems involves multi-digit whole numbers because the numbers in each problem are four and two digit integers, and the mathematical calculations involved in both problems focus on multiplication. The first problem explicitly asks the student to solve its subproblems using the standard algorithm.",
  "answer": "C"
}

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

options: For a function that models a relationship between two quantities, interpret key features of graphs and tables in terms of the quantities, and sketch graphs showing key features given a verbal description of the relationship. Key features include: intercepts; intervals where the function is increasing, decreasing, positive, or negative; relative maximums and minimums; symmetries; end behavior; and periodicity.

Relate the domain of a function to its graph and, where applicable, to the quantitative relationship it describes.  For example, if the function h(n) gives the number of person-hours it takes to assemble n engines in a factory, then the positive integers would be an appropriate domain for the function.

Calculate and interpret the average rate of change of a function (presented symbolically or as a table) over a specified interval. Estimate the rate of change from a graph.
problem_activity: Optional activity
Previously, students made sense of the domain of functions in concrete contexts. This optional activity is an opportunity to reason about domain more abstractly. Students evaluate an expression that defines a function at some values of input and notice a value that produces an undefined output. They graph the function to examine its behavior, and then think about how to describe the domain of the function.
Launch
Provide access to graphing technology.
Action and Expression: Provide Access for Physical Action.
Provide access to tools and assistive technologies such as a graphing calculator or graphing software. Some students may benefit from a checklist or list of steps to be able to use the calculator or software.
Supports accessibility for: Organization; Conceptual processing; Attention

Consider the function
\(f(x)=\dfrac {6}{x-2}\)
.
To find out the sets of possible input and output values of the function, Clare created a table and evaluated
\(f\)
at some values of
\(x\)
. Along the way, she ran into some trouble.
Find
\(f(x)\)
for each
\(x\)
-value Clare listed. Describe what Clare’s trouble might be.
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"border": "1"}, "tbody": [{"tr": [{"th": [{"_attributes": {"scope": "row"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math", "math-repaired"], "data-png-file-id": "50"}, "_value": "\\(x\\)"}]}], "td": [{"_value": "-10"}, {"_value": "0"}, {"span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math", "math-repaired"], "data-png-file-id": "238"}, "_value": "\\(\\frac12\\)"}]}, {"_value": "2"}, {"_value": "8"}]}, {"th": [{"_attributes": {"scope": "row"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math", "math-repaired"], "data-png-file-id": "287"}, "_value": "\\(f(x)\\)"}]}], "td": [{}, {}, {}, {}, {}]}]}]}]}
Use graphing technology to graph function
\(f\)
. What do you notice about the graph?
Use a calculator to compute the value you and Clare had trouble computing. What do you notice about the computation?
How would you describe the domain of function
\(f\)
?

Are you ready for more?
Why do you think the graph of function
\(f\)
looks the way it does? Why are there two parts that split at
\(x=2\)
, with one curving down as it approaches
\(x=2\)
from the left and the other curving up as it approaches
\(x=2\)
from the right?
Evaluate function
\(f\)
at different
\(x\)
-values that approach 2 but are not exactly 2, such as 1.8, 1.9, 1.95, 1.999, 2.2, 2.1, 2.05, 2.001, and so on. What do you notice about the values of
\(f(x)\)
as the
\(x\)
-values get closer and closer to 2?

Activity Synthesis
Display a graph of the function for all to see. Invite students to share their observations of the behavior of function
\(f\)
based on the completed table and their graph. Solicit their ideas on what the problem might be with this function.
If no students mentioned division by 0 as the issue, bring this up. Ask questions such as:
"What happens when we divide a number by 0?" (The result is undefined.)
"In the expression
\(\dfrac {6}{x-2}\)
, what value or values of
\(x\)
would result in a denominator of 0?" (Only 2 gives a denominator of 0.)
"If 2 does not produce an output, is it a possible input for
\(f\)
?" (No)
Highlight that the domain of
\(f\)
includes all numbers except 2.
