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?

K
standard_description: Compare two decimals to hundredths by reasoning about their size. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two decimals refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with the symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual model.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 100.
problem_activity: Narrative
This activity prompts students to compare multiple fractions and put them in order by size. The work gives students opportunities to look for and make use of structure (MP7) in each set of fractions and make comparisons strategically. For instance, rather than comparing two fractions at a time and in the order they are listed, students could first classify the given fractions as greater or less than
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
or 1, look for fractions with a common numerator or denominator, and so on.
If time is limited, consider asking students to choose two sets of fractions to compare and order.
Representation: Internalize Comprehension.
Synthesis: Invite students to identify which details were most useful when putting fractions in order. Display the sentence frame, “The next time I put fractions in order, I will pay attention to . . . .”

Activity
“Work independently on two sets. Then, discuss your work with your partner and complete the rest together.”
10 minutes: independent work time
Monitor for students who look for and make use of structure. Ask them to share during lesson synthesis.
3–4 minutes: partner discussion
Student Facing
Put each set of fractions in order, from least to greatest. Be prepared to explain your reasoning.
\(\frac{3}{12} \qquad \frac{2}{4} \qquad \frac{2}{3} \qquad \frac{1}{8}\)
\(\frac{8}{5} \qquad \frac{5}{6} \qquad \frac{11}{12} \qquad \frac{11}{10}\)
\(\frac{21}{20} \qquad \frac{9}{10} \qquad \frac{6}{5} \qquad \frac{101}{100}\)
\(\frac{5}{8} \qquad \frac{2}{5} \qquad \frac{3}{7} \qquad \frac{3}{6}\)

Advancing Student Thinking
Some students may try to write equivalent fractions with a common denominator for all four fractions in each set before comparing them but may be unable to do so. Encourage them to try reasoning about two fractions at a time, and to use what they know about the fractions to determine how they compare (to one another or to familiar benchmarks).
