 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: Given two figures, use the definition of similarity in terms of similarity transformations to decide if they are similar; explain using similarity transformations the meaning of similarity for triangles as the equality of all corresponding pairs of angles and the proportionality of all corresponding pairs of sides.
problem_activity: Task
The goal of this task is to explain why the area enclosed by a circle $C$ of radius $r$ is
$\pi r^2$.  Recall that $\pi$ is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter and that this ratio is independent of the size of the circle.
Draw a picture of a regular octagon $O$ inscribed in $C$.  Find  a formula for the area of the octagon in terms of its perimeter.
Reasoning as in part (a), find a formula for the area of a regular $n$ sided polygon, for $n \geq 3$, inscribed in $C$: the formula should give the area of the polygon  in terms of  its perimeter.
Using your formula from part (b), explain why the area of $C$ is $\pi r^2$.
