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: Partition a rectangle into rows and columns of same-size squares and count to find the total number of them.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to finish partitioning a rectangle into equal-size squares. This work will prepare students for partitioning rectangles on their own in later lessons. In the synthesis, students are invited to use what they know about the structure of arrays to anticipate how many equal-size squares will fill the rectangle without drawing any lines (MP8).
MLR8 Discussion Supports.
Synthesis: At the appropriate time, give students 2–3 minutes to make sure that everyone in their group can explain how they know how many squares will fill the rectangle. Invite groups to rehearse what they will say when they share with the whole class.
Advances: Speaking, Conversing, Representing
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Colored pencils or crayons
Rulers
Launch
Give each student at least 2 different colors of colored pencils or crayons and a ruler.
Activity
“In the first activity, you used tiles to make a rectangle and shaded in squares to represent it. In this activity, you will start with a rectangle and decompose it into small equal-size squares by drawing lines with a ruler. For each rectangle, there will be some squares already outlined. Draw lines to continue making equal-size squares inside each rectangle.”
“After making the squares, use colored pencils or crayons to show patterns in the rows or columns.”
10 minutes: independent work time
Student Facing
Draw lines so that the rectangle is completely filled with equal-size squares.
[IMG]
Color the rows different colors.
How many rows of equal-size squares are there?
How many squares are in each row?
Write an equation to represent the sum of the squares in each row.
Draw lines so that the rectangle is completely filled with equal-size squares.
[IMG]
Color the columns different colors.
How many columns of equal-size squares are there?
How many squares are in each column?
Write an equation that represents the sum of squares in each column.
Draw lines so that the rectangle is completely filled with equal-size squares.
[IMG]
How many columns of equal-size squares are there? How many squares are in each column?
How many rows of equal-size squares are there? How many squares are in each row?
Write 2 equations to represent the number of equal-size squares in the rectangle.

Advancing Student Thinking
If students create squares one by one or create squares that are significantly different in size, consider pairing them with a peer who uses a ruler or looks for ways to draw longer lines across rows and columns. Ask students to compare their techniques and try each other’s techniques to complete one row or column of squares.
Activity Synthesis
Display the rectangle that has 4 squares in the first row, but is missing squares in each column.
“How could you find the total number of squares that would fill this rectangle without drawing the lines?” (I can tell there will be 4 columns based on the top row. I can tell there will be 5 rows based on the first column, even though it is missing 1 square.)
