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.

Use after Unit 4, Lesson 16
Ask students to give examples of situations where there is exponential change (population growth, compounding interest, radioactive decay). Write down students’ ideas for all to see.
Then ask students for an example of an exponential function (
\(y=2e^{\text-t}\)
). Write it for all to see. Here are some possible questions for discussion:
“What situation could this function model?” (Since the exponent is negative, this models decay. The coefficient of the exponential part is 2, so the initial value is 2. The amount is divided by
\(e\)
every time
\(t\)
increases by 1. So it’s a small amount of something and it’s decreasing. How fast it decreases depends on what
\(t\)
represents.)
“What questions about a situation could this function help you answer?” (I could find out what
\(t\)
is when the value of the function is a specific number, like 0.01. If
\(t\)
represents time, I could find out how often the value of the function doubles.)
Tell students that in this task they will ask and answer their own questions about a situation that can be modeled with an exponential function.
Teacher Instructions
After students have finished the task, they should see what questions were asked about each situation. One way to do this would be to have groups that looked at the same situation get together to compare their questions and the assumptions they made about the situation. Groups that made up their own situations can get together and share what they did. Then one or two representatives from each large group can summarize the discussion for the whole class.
Student-Facing Statement
Choose one of these situations to think about, or write a similar one of your own:
There are currently 61 million cars in a certain country, increasing by 6% annually.
A vampire enters a town. He looks around for about an hour, and then chooses someone to bite. The person he bit is now also a vampire. Both of them take an hour to choose new victims, and then they each bite someone. All the vampires continue choosing victims in the same way.
The population in millions,
\(W\)
, of the country of West Mathlandia is modeled by
\(W(x) = 17.9e^{0.0015x}\)
, where
\(x\)
is the number of years since September 1998. The population in millions,
\(E\)
, of East Mathlandia is modeled by
\(E(x) = 13.5e^{0.0128x}\)
.
There are 10,000 bacteria in a petri dish. The population of bacteria declines to 4,000 in 4 hours.
An artifact is discovered. It has 57% of the carbon-14 it originally contained. Carbon-14 decays at the rate of 0.0125% per year.
The number of books,
\(B\)
, in a small library increases according to the function
\(B = 5,\!300e^{0.02t}\)
, where
\(t\)
is measured in years.
The growth in the population,
\(P\)
, of a certain species of rodent at a landfill is modeled by the exponential function
\(P(t)= 648e^{0.016t}\)
, where
\(t\)
is the number of years since 1987.
The initial mass of a certain compound is 448 g, and every 27 hours it decreases by half.
Write down questions you could ask about the situation you chose. Write as many questions as you can think of. As a group, you will choose some interesting questions to answer. If you would need to do calculations, make a sketch, or draw a graph in order to answer a question, then it’s probably an interesting question.
You should answer 2 questions for every person in your group. Multiple people can work on a question together—each person in the group does not have to answer 2 questions by themselves.
Write a report to explain your questions and answers. The report should include:
A context for your situation. Write a story that includes all the relevant information. If the description of the situation is missing some details, fill them in however you want.
An equation to describe the situation, with an explanation of what each part of the equation represents.
A labeled graph of the situation.
The questions you chose and your answers. Include your process for finding the answers. Say what the answers mean in the context of this situation.

If you would need to do calculations, make a sketch, or draw a graph in order to answer a question, then it's probably an interesting question. To get you started, here are some example questions you could ask about each situation:
If there are 200 people in the town, how long will it be before all of them are vampires?
Will the populations of East and West Mathlandia ever be the same, and if so, when?
How much does the population of bacteria decline each hour?
How long will it be before the library has 1 million books?
How many rodents were born between 1987 and now?
