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: 
Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings (Drawings need not show details, but should show the mathematics in the problem. (This applies wherever drawings are mentioned in the Standards.)), sounds (e.g., claps), acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations.

Answer: 
Yes. This task involves representing addition with objects such as number cards and dice.

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 and division and of fractions to multiply and divide rational numbers.

Answer: 
Yes. This problem involves understanding fractions and division to divide rational numbers, such as 1, -4, 4, and -1. This problem also involves an understanding of multiplication: if p and q are integers, then -(p/q) = (-p)/q = p/(-q).

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.

standard_description: Interpret the slope (rate of change) and the intercept (constant term) of a linear model in the context of the data.
problem_activity: Problem 1
Figure 1 (F1) and Figure 2 (F2) are shown below. For each statement below, determine if it is true or false. Explain your reasoning.
[IMG]
a.   A reflection over the
$$x$$
-axis and a translation to the left will transform F1 to F2, making the two figures congruent.
b.   A rotation of
$${180^{\circ}}$$
about the origin will transform F1 to F2, making the two figures congruent.
c.   A dilation from the origin and a translation up will transform F1 to F2, making the two figures similar.
d.   A reflection across the
$$x$$
-axis and a reflection across the
$$y$$
-axis will transform F1 to F2, making the two figures congruent.
e.   There is no sequence that will transform Figure 1 to Figure 2, making the two figures neither congruent nor similar.
Problem 2
The pentagon shown below is the resulting image of pentagon
$${ABCDE}$$
after it was dilated from point
$$A$$
by a scale factor of
$${\frac{1}{2}}$$
and then rotated clockwise
$${90^{\circ}}$$
about point
$$A$$
.
What are the original coordinates of pentagon
$${ABCDE}$$
?
