Task
Materials
One 10-frame per pair of students (see example below)
[IMG]
Counters, 10 per pair of students
Decks of number cards 0-5 (with 4 of each number) or two 0-5 dice
Setup
This activity is done in pairs. The students sit side by side with 10-frame and deck of cards or dice. If they have cards, the cards are shuffled and placed face down in front of them.
Action
Player 1 flips a card or rolls the die. They place that many counters on the 10-frame. Player 2 flips a card or rolls the die. They place that many more counters on the 10-frame next to the counters already on the ten frame. The students count the total together.
A recording sheet can be added when the students have been introduced to equations and number sentences. For those students who can handle higher numbers, a deck of 0-10 cards and two 10-frames can be used.
This game can also be played alone.


Concept/skill: 
Solve addition and subtraction word problems, and add and subtract within 10, e.g., by using objects or drawings to represent the problem.

Answer: 
No. Though this task involves addition, it does not involve any word problems.

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

problem_activity: Problem 1
Sarita has a fish tank in the shape of a rectangular prism. The bottom of the fish tank measures
$${10}$$
inches by
$$8$$
inches. Sarita wants to add some sand to cover the bottom of the tank, and she uses the formula
$${ V=l × w × h}$$
to determine the volume of sand she needs.
a.   If the height of the sand measures
$$2$$
inches, what is the volume of sand needed?
b.   If the height of the sand measures
$${3.5}$$
inches, what is the volume of sand needed?
c.   Sarita cannot decide how high she wants the sand to be in the tank. What expression can she use to represent the volume of sand needed for
any
height of sand?
Problem 2
In each example, write an expression to represent the quantity.
a.   Thomas is
$$x$$
years old.
His sister is
$$5$$
years older. How old is his sister?
His dog is
$$3$$
years younger. How old is his dog?
His cousin is
$${3\over4}$$
his age. How old is his cousin?
His friend is
$$y$$
years younger. How old is his friend?
b.   Reina has
$$5$$
more quarters than dimes.
She has
$$8$$
dimes. How many quarters does she have?
She has
$$15$$
quarters. How many dimes does she have?
She has
$$d$$
dimes. How many quarters does she have?
She has
$$q$$
quarters. How many dimes does she have?
Problem 3
a.   A numeric expression like
$${5+(8+2)^2}$$
has one and only one value. What is it?
b.   Consider the expression
$${ {5+(x+2)^2}}$$
. What are some values it can have? Make sure you organize your work so anyone can tell which value for the expression goes with which
$$x$$
value.
c.   How many different values can an algebraic expression like
$${5+(x+2)^2}$$
have?
