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?

standard_description: Give an informal argument using Cavalieri’s principle for the formulas for the volume of a sphere and other solid figures.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to find the volume of figures composed of two non-overlapping right rectangular prisms by adding the volumes of the non-overlapping parts. There are different ways to decompose the figures. Monitor for students who break the figures apart differently and find the same total volume. To reinforce earlier work with cubic units of measure, ask students for the unit of measure in their response if they state the volume as only a number (MP2). If students finish early, give them isometric grid paper to draw a figure composed of two rectangular prisms for their partner to find the volume.
Representation: Internalize Comprehension
. Synthesis: Invite students to identify which details were needed in order to solve the problem. Display the sentence frame: “The next time I need to find the volume of a figure composed of two rectangular prisms, I will . . .“

Isometric Dot Paper Standard
Launch
Groups of 2
Display the image from the student workbook with the missing side lengths.
“How can we find the missing side lengths?”
1 minute: quiet think time
2 minutes: partner discussion
Share and record responses on the image of the figure.  (We can subtract 5 from 7 in both cases.)
Activity
“Now, each partner will find the volume of one of the figures and then switch papers. Your job is to then find the volume using a different decomposition strategy than your partner.”
If there is time, the groups of 2 can make groups of 4 and share responses and strategies.
10 minutes: independent work time with partner discussion
Give students access to isometric dot paper to draw the figures if they finish early.

Advancing Student Thinking
If students do not find the correct volume of the figure, ask, “Where do you see rectangular prisms in this figure?”
Activity Synthesis
Display: Figure 2
“How did you break up this shape to find the volume?” (I cut off the overhanging piece vertically to make two rectangular prisms. I cut off the bottom piece that the shape is resting on, horizontally.)
“How did you find the side lengths of the rectangular prisms?” (Some of the lengths are provided, and I found the others by subtracting.)
“Did you get the same volume when you broke up the figure differently? Why?” (Yes. The calculations were different but they both tell me how many cubic inches it takes to fill the shape.)
