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:
Task
 Arrange the fractions in order from least to greatest. Explain your answer with a picture.
 $\frac{1}{5}, \frac{1}{7}, \frac{1}{3} $
 $\frac{2}{5}, \frac{2}{7}, \frac{2}{3} $
 $\frac{5}{6}, \frac{3}{6}, \frac{1}{6} $
 $\frac{5}{12}, \frac{8}{12}, \frac{4}{12} $

Concept/skill: 
Understand a fraction as a number on the number line; represent fractions on a number line diagram.
 Grade 3 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8.

Answer: 
No. Completing this task does not involve representing fractions on a number line diagram.

Example 3:
Problem/activity:
Problem 1
Solve using the standard algorithm. If you get stuck, use an area model and/or the partial products algorithm to help. Then assess the reasonableness of your answer.
a.
$$5,803\times46$$
b.
$$63\times2,116$$
Problem 2
Dunkin' introduced a croissant doughnut in 2014. In the first three months of its debut, they sold 7,870 dozen of them per day. How many croissant doughnuts were sold in the first three months?


Concept/skill: 
Fluently add and subtract multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to whole numbers less than or equal to 1,000,000.

Answer: 
No. This set of problems does not directly involve adding or subtracting multi-digit whole numbers. Instead, it focuses on multiplying multi-digit whole numbers.

standard_description: Write numbers from 0 to 20. Represent a number of objects with a written numeral 0-20 (with 0 representing a count of no objects).
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to write three-digit numbers as the sum of the value of each digit,
expanded form
. Students connect the order and values of the addends in expanded form to the order and value of each place in a three-digit number. Use expanded form and its definition interchangeably throughout the activity so that students feel comfortable with the new vocabulary. When students represent numbers as sums by place value, they interpret the three-digit numbers in terms of its digits and the operation of addition (MP7).
MLR8 Discussion Supports.
Provide all students with an opportunity to produce mathematical language by inviting students to chorally repeat “expanded form” in unison 1–2 times.
Advances: Speaking
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Base-ten blocks
Launch
Groups of 2
Display Andre, Tyler, and Mai’s situation and the image of their blocks.
“What would the expression look like?”
1 minute: independent work time
1 minutes: partner discussion
Share responses.
Display 357 and
\(300 + 50 + 7\)
.
“We can represent the value of the blocks by writing a three-digit number.”
“A number can also be represented as a sum of the value of each of its digits. This is called
expanded form
.”
“Like a three-digit number, expanded form shows the sum starting with the place that has the greatest value on the left to the place with the least value on the right.”
As needed, discuss reasons why any expressions generated in the launch would or would not be examples of expanded form.
Activity
“Now you will practice writing the value of the base-ten diagrams in expanded form and as a three-digit number.”
7 minutes: partner work time
Student Facing
Andre has 3 hundreds. Tyler has 5 tens. Mai has 7 ones. They want to represent the amount they have using an equation.

Activity Synthesis
“What is the value of
\(40 + 100 + 3\)
? Explain how you know.” (143. I saw there was 1 hundred, 4 tens, and 3 ones. I just rearranged it in my head like expanded form.)
“We know we can rearrange the addends to add in any order when we find the value of a sum. When a number is written in expanded form the values are written in place value order.”
“How would we write 143 in expanded form?” (
\(100 + 40 + 3\)
)
