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: Draw polygons in the coordinate plane given coordinates for the vertices; use coordinates to find the length of a side joining points with the same first coordinate or the same second coordinate. Apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.
problem_activity: Problem 1
A small box measures 5 in. across, 8 in. deep, and 6 in. tall. A book that measures 5
$$\times$$
8
$$\times$$
1 in. fits perfectly into the bottom of the box.
[IMG]
a.   What is the volume of one book? How many books will fit into the box? What is the volume of all of the books that will fit into the box?
b.   What is the volume of the box? How is this related to the volume of one book?
c.   A medium box measures 12 inches tall. A different book with dimensions 8
$$\times$$
10
$$\times$$
1 in. fits perfectly into the bottom of the medium box. What is the volume of the medium box?
Problem 2
The same rectangular prism is positioned in two different ways, as shown below. For each prism, use the rectangular face that the prism is “sitting on” as the base of the prism.
[IMG]
For each prism, find the area of the base and multiply by the height. Show that this is the same volume as when all three dimensions are multiplied together.
Problem 3
A rectangular prism has a base area of
$${4{3\over8}}$$
inches
$${^2}$$
, a width of
$$1 \frac{1}{4}$$
inches, and a height of
$${6 {1\over2}}$$
inches. Kirby writes the equation
$$V=4\frac{3}{8}\times1\frac{1}{4}\times6\frac{1}{2}$$
to represent the volume of the prism.
Do you agree with Kirby's equation? Explain and find the volume of the prism.
