 Narrative
 The first partner spins to get a group of coins. They write a question that compares the amount they spun to a different group of coins that they make up.

Concept/skill: 
Solve word problems involving dollar bills, quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies, using $ and ¬¢ symbols appropriately. Example: If you have 2 dimes and 3 pennies, how many cents do you have?

Answer: 
Yes. In this activity, students write word problems that compare coin amounts.

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

standard_description: Recognize angles as geometric shapes that are formed wherever two rays share a common endpoint, and understand concepts of angle measurement:
- An angle is measured with reference to a circle with its center at the common endpoint of the rays, by considering the fraction of the circular arc between the points where the two rays intersect the circle. An angle that turns through 1/360 of a circle is called a “one-degree angle,” and can be used to measure angles.
- An angle that turns through n one-degree angles is said to have an angle measure of n degrees.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to practice drawing and describing figures with points, lines, line segments, rays, angles (right, acute, obtuse), and perpendicular and parallel lines.
Students draw two-dimensional figures and then describe it to their partner. Their partner attempts to draw the figure without seeing it, making it important to use precise language to communicate important features of the figure (MP6).
Representation: Develop Language and Symbols.
Provide students with access to definitions or reminders of recently learned terms, such as: ray, line segment, right angle, acute angle, obtuse angle, perpendicular lines, parallel lines.
Supports accessibility for: Memory, Conceptual Processing, Attention

Activity
5 minutes: independent work time
8–10 minutes: partner work time
Monitor for diagrams that reflect a variety of geometric features.
Monitor for students who consider both geometric features and measurement in the description.
Student Facing
Create a two-dimensional shape that has at least 3 of the following:
ray
line segment
right angle
acute angle
obtuse angle
perpendicular lines
parallel lines
Without showing your partner, describe the figure so that your partner is able to draw it as best as possible.
Switch roles, and draw your partner’s shape based on their description.

Activity Synthesis
Invite previously selected students to share.
“What would have helped your partner make a more accurate drawing?” (If I described the measure of the angle, measure of the line segment, the location, a grid, using a straight edge)
