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: 
Prove the addition and subtraction formulas for sine, cosine, and tangent and use them to solve problems.

Answer: 
Yes. An initial step when solving for x in this problem requires the use of the addition formula for cosine on the left side of the equation.

standard_description: Write simple expressions that record calculations with numbers, and interpret numerical expressions without evaluating them. For example, express the calculation “add 8 and 7, then multiply by 2” as 2 × (8 + 7). Recognize that 3 × (18932 + 921) is three times as large as 18932 + 921, without having to calculate the indicated sum or product.
problem_activity: Narrative
The goal of this activity is for students to examine different ways to write the product of a three-digit number and a two-digit number as a sum of partial products. Students match sets of partial products which can be put together to make the full product. Students are provided blank diagrams, familiar from the previous lesson, that they may choose to use to support their reasoning. In the activity synthesis, students relate the expressions and diagrams to equations to prepare them to analyze symbolic notation for partial products in the next activity.
When students relate partial products and diagrams to the product
\(245 \times 35\)
they look for and identify structure (MP7).
MLR8 Discussion Supports.
Display the following sentence frame to support small-group discussion: “I noticed _____ , so I matched . . . .” Encourage students to challenge each other when they disagree.

Partial Product Expressions
Required Preparation
Create a set of cards from the blackline master for each group of 2.
Launch
Groups of 2
Display first image from student book.
“What product does this rectangle represent?” (
\(245 \times 35\)
)
“Today, you are going to take turns with your partner picking expressions that can be added together to give the product
\(245 \times 35\)
. You can use the diagrams to explain your reasoning, if they are helpful.”
Activity
10 minutes: partner work time
Monitor for students who:
use the diagram to determine which expressions they will use.
look at the expressions and think about how they could be used to find the full product.
compute the full product in different ways.

Advancing Student Thinking
If students do not choose correct expressions to represent a sum that is equal to
\(245 \times 35\)
, refer to one of the empty boxes in the diagram and ask, “Which multiplication expression represents this partial product?”
Activity Synthesis
Invite previously selected students to share their strategies. As students share, record their reasoning with equations.
Display:
\(245 \times 30 + 245 \times 5  = 245 \times 35\)
“How do you know this equation is true?” (I can put the 30 and 5 together since they are both multiplied by 245. I see that
\(245 \times 30\)
is the top part of the diagram and
\(245 \times 5\)
is the bottom part. Together that’s the whole diagram.)
