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.

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

K
standard_description: Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators (including mixed numbers) by replacing given fractions with equivalent fractions in such a way as to produce an equivalent sum or difference of fractions with like denominators. For example, 2/3 + 5/4 = 8/12 + 15/12 = 23/12. (In general, a/b + c/d = (ad + bc)/bd.)
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to reason about adding fractions with unlike denominators to add two equations to a partially-completed True or False activity. If there is time, students can facilitate their True or False with another group.
Launch
Groups of 2 or 4
“Now you will work with your group to complete a True or False activity. This activity has two equations missing. Decide on equations that would complete the True or False and write them on the blank lines.”
Activity
10 minutes: small-group work time
As students work, monitor for groups who discuss and design equations based on some of the following:
They create equations where the fractions on one side of the equation have unlike denominators and the other side consists of fractions with like denominators.
They create an equation where the common denominator is appropriate, but the corresponding fraction used is not equivalent.
They create an equation that is similar to a previous equation.
They create an equation where a similar strategy can be used to determine if it’s true.
Student Facing
Write two equations to complete the True or False task. Be prepared to share your reasoning for the equations.
\(\frac{8}{14}+\frac{3}{7}=\frac{4}{7}+\frac{3}{7}\)

Activity Synthesis
Choose small groups to share that had different reasons for their equations.
Ask students to share their completed True or False and ask the class to share reasons for the equations.
As each group shares, continually ask others in the class if they agree or disagree and the reasons why.
