 Narrative
 The first partner spins to get a group of coins. They write a question that compares the amount they spun to a different group of coins that they make up.

Concept/skill: 
Solve word problems involving dollar bills, quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies, using $ and ¬¢ symbols appropriately. Example: If you have 2 dimes and 3 pennies, how many cents do you have?

Answer: 
Yes. In this activity, students write word problems that compare coin amounts.

Now, does the following problem or activity enable students to learn the full intent of the following concept or skill?

standard_description: Decide if a specified model is consistent with results from a given data-generating process, e.g., using simulation. For example, a model says a spinning coin falls heads up with probability 0.5. Would a result of 5 tails in a row cause you to question the model?

In general, the $n^{\text{th}}$ triangular number is the total number of dots in $n$ columns where the columns have $1, 2, 3, \ldots, n$ dots.
The following picture relates the first three triangular numbers to areas of rectangles:

Use this idea to calculate the seventh triangular number, $1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5+ 6+ 7$.
Calculate the hundredth triangular number, $1 + 2 + 3 + \cdots + 98 + 99 + 100$.
Find a formula for calculating the $n^{\text{th}}$ triangular number, $1 + 2 + \cdots + (n-1) + n.$
