 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: 
Use addition and subtraction within 100 to solve one- and two-step word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.

Answer: 
No. This activity does not involve addition or subtraction, or unknowns in different positions of equations or drawings.

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

standard_description: Solve problems involving scale drawings of geometric figures, including computing actual lengths and areas from a scale drawing and reproducing a scale drawing at a different scale.
problem_activity: Problem 1
At the candy store, M&Ms and Skittles are sold for $0.50 per ounce. Kevita puts some M&Ms in a bag and then adds 8 ounces of Skittles. The total cost for her bag of candy is $6.50.
Kevita and Mary write the equation
$${0.5(x+8)=6.50}$$
to represent the situation, where
$$x$$
represents the number of ounces of M&Ms.
Kevita says that to solve this equation, you first distribute the
$$0.5$$
through the parentheses to get
$${0.5x+4=6.50}$$
.
Mary says that to solve this equation, you first divide by
$$0.5$$
on both sides to get
$${x+8=13}$$
.
Do you agree with either Kevita or Mary? Why? Finish solving the problem to find out how many ounces of M&Ms Kevita put in her bag of candy.
Problem 2
The taxi fare in Gotham City is $2.40 for the first
$${1 \over 2}$$
mile and additional mileage is charged at the rate of $0.20 for each additional 0.1 mile. You plan to give the driver a $2 tip. How many miles can you ride for $10?
What are two different ways you can solve this problem?
Problem 3
The ages of three cousins are consecutive integers. The sum of their ages is 45. Calculate their ages.
a.   Draw a tape diagram to represent the ages of the cousins.
b.   Let the youngest cousin's age be represented as
$$x$$
years old. Write and solve an equation to find the ages of the cousins.
