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: 
Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings (Drawings need not show details, but should show the mathematics in the problem. (This applies wherever drawings are mentioned in the Standards.)), sounds (e.g., claps), acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations.

Answer: 
Yes. This task involves representing addition with objects such as number cards and dice.

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

K
standard_description: Multiply a whole number of up to four digits by a one-digit whole number, and multiply two two-digit numbers, using strategies based on place value and the properties of operations. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to whole numbers less than or equal to 1,000,000.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this How Many Do You See is for students to use grouping strategies to describe the images they see.
When students use grouping to find the total in a multiple of tens, they look for and make use of structure (MP7).

Activity Synthesis
“What expressions could we record for the different ways that students saw the tens?” (
\(6 \times 10\)
, because some students saw 6 groups of 10.
\(3 \times (10 \times 2)\)
, because some students saw 2 rows of 10, then multiplied by 3.
\((3 \times 10) \times 2\)
, because some students multiplied 3 times 10 for each column, then multiplied by 2.)
Consider asking:
“Who can restate in different words the way _____ saw the tens?”
“Did anyone see the tens the same way but would explain it differently?”
“Does anyone want to add an observation to the way _____ saw the tens?”
