Problem/activity:
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?

K
standard_description: Apply and extend previous understandings of division to divide unit fractions by whole numbers and whole numbers by unit fractions. (Students able to multiply fractions in general can develop strategies to divide fractions in general, by reasoning about the relationship between multiplication and division. But division of a fraction by a fraction is not a requirement at this grade.)
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.
|  \(x\)   |   |   |   |   |
|----------|---|---|---|---|
| \(f(x)\) |   |   |   |   |
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.
