 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: Use informal arguments to establish facts about the angle sum and exterior angle of triangles, about the angles created when parallel lines are cut by a transversal, and the angle-angle criterion for similarity of triangles. For example, arrange three copies of the same triangle so that the sum of the three angles appears to form a line, and give an argument in terms of transversals why this is so.
problem_activity: The two triangles in the picture below are congruent:

a.   Give a sequence of rotations, translations, and/or reflections that take
$${\triangle PRQ}$$
to
$${\triangle ABC}$$
.
b.   Is it possible to show the congruence in part (a) using only translations and rotations? Explain.
