 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: Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide. (Students need not use formal terms for these properties.) ^( )Examples: If 6 × 4 = 24 is known, then 4 × 6 = 24 is also known. (Commutative property of multiplication.) 3 × 5 × 2 can be found by 3 × 5 = 15, then 15 × 2 = 30, or by 5 × 2 = 10, then 3 × 10 = 30. (Associative property of multiplication.) Knowing that 8 × 5 = 40 and 8 × 2 = 16, one can find 8 × 7 as 8 × (5 + 2) = (8 × 5) + (8 × 2) = 40 + 16 = 56. (Distributive property.)
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this optional activity is for students to practice evaluating division expressions in order to make comparisons. Compare is a center that focuses on the procedural skills needed to solve single- and multi-step word problems. In this stage, students will use division to evaluate and compare quotients within 100.
This stage of the Compare center is used in grades 3, 4, and 5. When used in grade 3, remove the cards with two-digit divisors.

Compare Stage 4 Division Cards
Required Preparation
Create a set of cards from the blackline master for each group of 2. Remove the cards with two-digit divisors.
Launch
Groups of 2
Give each group of students a set of cards from the blackline master.
“Now let’s play Compare to practice what you learned about dividing numbers.”
“Take a minute to read the directions with your partner.”
1 minute: quiet think time
Answer any questions about the directions. If needed, play a turn with the class.
Activity
5–7 minutes: partner work time
If time permits, provide extra time to play Compare.
Student Facing
Play Compare with 2 players.
Shuffle the cards and
split the deck between the players.
Each player turns over a card.
Compare the values. The player with the greater value keeps both cards.
Play until you run out of cards. The player with the most cards at the end of the game wins.
