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.

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

standard_description: Tell and write time to the nearest minute and measure time intervals in minutes. Solve word problems involving addition and subtraction of time intervals in minutes, e.g., by representing the problem on a number line diagram.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this warm-up is to elicit different strategies for counting objects arranged in groups of 2, which will be useful when students multiply by 2 in a later activity. While students may notice and wonder many things about these images, flexible ways of seeing the groups and strategies for finding the total number of objects are the important discussion points.
When students see the socks are grouped by 2 and use that to find the total, they are looking for and making use of structure (MP7).

Activity Synthesis
“How does this problem relate to what we know about multiplication?” (There are equal groups of socks, we can say there are 6 groups of 2.)
