Example 1:
Problem/activity:
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.

Example 2:
Problem/activity:
For each pair of numbers, determine if the values are equivalent. Explain your reasoning for each one.
a.
$$-0.25$$
and
$$\frac{1}{-4}$$
b.
$$-\left ( \frac{1}{4} \right )$$
and
$$\frac{-1}{-4}$$
c.
$$\frac{-1}{4}$$
and
$$-\frac{1}{4}$$


Concept/skill: 
Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a fraction or whole number by a fraction.

Answer: 
No. The expressions shown in this problem do not involve multiplying fractions with other fractions, nor whole numbers with fractions.

Example 3:
Problem/activity:
Find the general solution for:
$${\mathrm{cos}\left({\pi\over2}+x\right)=\mathrm{tan}{\pi\over4}}$$


Concept/skill: 
Understand that by similarity, side ratios in right triangles are properties of the angles in the triangle, leading to definitions of trigonometric ratios for acute angles.

Answer: 
No. This problem does not directly teach how side ratios in right triangles lead to definitions of trigonometric ratios. Instead, it involves solving a trigonometric function.

problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to represent addition and subtraction equations on a number line. Students consider where to begin and in which direction to draw their arrows in order to accurately represent the operation in the given equation. Throughout the activity, encourage students to explain how they know their representation matches the equation. Listen for the way they explain how they know where to start and end their arrow, which direction they draw their arrow, and how they connect the length the jump represents to the equation (MP3).

“We have seen addition and subtraction equations represented on a number line. How can you tell whether a number line is representing addition or subtraction?” (Look at the direction of the arrow.)
30 seconds: quiet think time
Share responses.
Activity
“Now you are going to represent some equations on number lines. Be sure others will be able to tell from looking at your number line whether you are representing addition or subtraction.”
8 minutes: independent work time
Monitor for students who:
Mark the first number and last number in each equation with a point first. Then draw their arrow to match the operation.
Locate the first number in the equation, count a number of spaces forward or backward to match the operation, and draw an arrow to connect the two numbers.
“Compare your number lines with your partner. Explain how you know your representation matches the equation.”
3 minutes: partner discussion

Advancing Student Thinking
If a student's number line representation doesn't match the equation, consider asking:
“Will you please explain your representation?”
“How did you decide where to start or end on the number line?”
“How did you decide which direction to draw your arrow?”
Activity Synthesis
Display the equation and blank number line for
\(15 + 7 = 22\)
.
Invite previously selected students to share how they represented the equation on the number line.
Consider asking:
“How do you see each number in the equation in ____’s representation?”
“How do you know ___’s representation matches the operation (addition or subtraction)?”
As time permits, continue with the other equations.
