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: Recognize volume as an attribute of solid figures and understand concepts of volume measurement.

Measure volumes by counting unit cubes, using cubic cm, cubic in, cubic ft, and improvised units.

Relate volume to the operations of multiplication and addition and solve real world and mathematical problems involving volume.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to find the volume of a figure in different ways. The given figure can be decomposed in two ways into rectangular prisms by making different cuts. However, it can also be found using a single, larger rectangular prism by removing a smaller rectangular prism. This provides an opportunity to express its volume as a difference of volumes of rectangular prisms. Students may notice this feature, and it is highlighted in the activity synthesis.
When students decide whether or not they have the same expressions, they need to reason carefully about what “the same” means. They consider if the order of the factors is different, is it the same expression and if the order of the addends is different, is it the same expression. Students use what they know about volume, geometric figures, and the properties of operations to justify the equivalence of the expressions and critique their peers' reasoning (MP2, MP3, MP7).

Advancing Student Thinking
If students did not see the figure as a cube missing a rectangular prism, ask them to build the figure and the missing piece that can be added to make it a cube.
Activity Synthesis
Invite students to share different expressions for the volume of the figure.
Display expression:
\((3 \times 5 \times 5) + (2 \times 2 \times 5)\)
“How does the expression represent the volume of the figure?” (
\(3 \times 5 \times 5\)
represents the prism that is 3 by 5 by 5 cubes tall and the
\(2 \times 2 \times 5\)
represents the prism that is 2 by 2 by 5 cubes tall.)
If no student wrote the expression
\((5 \times 5 \times 5) – (2 \times 3 \times 5)\)
, display this expression.
“How does the expression show the volume of the figure in cubic units?” (There is a 5 by 5 by 5 cube and a piece has been taken away. The piece that is taken away measures 2 cubes by 3 cubes by 5 cubes.)
