 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: 
Use addition and subtraction within 100 to solve one- and two-step word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.

Answer: 
No. This activity does not involve addition or subtraction, or unknowns in different positions of equations or drawings.

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

standard_description: Understand that shapes in different categories (e.g., rhombuses, rectangles, and others) may share attributes (e.g., having four sides), and that the shared attributes can define a larger category (e.g., quadrilaterals). Recognize rhombuses, rectangles, and squares as examples of quadrilaterals, and draw examples of quadrilaterals that do not belong to any of these subcategories.
problem_activity: Narrative
This Number Talk encourages students to use what they know about the meaning of fractions and about properties of operations to mentally relate fractions that are equivalent to whole numbers.
Launch
Display one fraction.
“Give me a signal when you have an answer and can explain how you got it.”
1 minute: quiet think time
Activity
Record answers and strategy.
Keep fractions and work displayed.
Repeat with each fraction.
Student Facing
Find the whole number that each fraction is equivalent to.
\(\frac{16}{1}\)
\(\frac{16}{2}\)
\(\frac{16}{4}\)
\(\frac{20}{4}\)

Activity Synthesis
“How did the earlier fractions help you find the whole number for the last fraction?”
Consider asking:
“Did anyone have the same strategy but would explain it differently?”
“Did anyone approach the problem in a different way?”
