 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: Tell and write time to the nearest minute and measure time intervals in minutes. Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of time intervals in minutes, e.g., by representing the problem on a number line diagram.
problem_activity: Narrative
In this warm-up, students practice estimating a reasonable angle measurement based on their knowledge of angles so far and their familiarity with clocks. Later in the unit, students will take a closer look at the angles in an analog clock and apply their understanding of angles to solve more sophisticated problems.

“What is an estimate that’s too high? Too low? About right?”
1 minute: quiet think time
Activity
1 minute: partner discussion
Record responses.
Draw an arc to show the clockwise turn of the minute hand from the hour hand (label the
\(143^\circ\)
measurement with an arc).
“Your estimate should show the size of this angle in degrees. If you need to, revise your estimates.”
As needed, record any revisions.
Student Facing
How many degrees is the angle formed by the long hand and the short hand of the clock?

Make an estimate that is:
|                    too low                     |                  about right                   |                    too high                    |

Activity Synthesis
Consider asking:
“Is anyone’s estimate less than _____? Is anyone’s estimate greater than _____?”
“How did you go about making an estimate? How did you know that _____ must be too low and _____ must be too high?”
“Based on this discussion does anyone want to revise their estimate?”
Consider revealing the actual measurement:
\(143^\circ\)
