Example 1:
Problem/activity:
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.

Example 2:
Problem/activity:
For each pair of numbers, determine if the values are equivalent. Explain your reasoning for each one.
a.
$$-0.25$$
and
$$\frac{1}{-4}$$
b.
$$-\left ( \frac{1}{4} \right )$$
and
$$\frac{-1}{-4}$$
c.
$$\frac{-1}{4}$$
and
$$-\frac{1}{4}$$


Concept/skill: 
Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a fraction or whole number by a fraction.

Answer: 
No. The expressions shown in this problem do not involve multiplying fractions with other fractions, nor whole numbers with fractions.

Example 3:
Problem/activity:
Find the general solution for:
$${\mathrm{cos}\left({\pi\over2}+x\right)=\mathrm{tan}{\pi\over4}}$$


Concept/skill: 
Understand that by similarity, side ratios in right triangles are properties of the angles in the triangle, leading to definitions of trigonometric ratios for acute angles.

Answer: 
No. This problem does not directly teach how side ratios in right triangles lead to definitions of trigonometric ratios. Instead, it involves solving a trigonometric function.

problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to make sense of a questionless Put Together/Take Apart, Both Addends Unknown story problem. In this activity, students are asked to show what Lin’s apples could have looked like. The focus of this activity is for students to show the two groups of apples, rather than on answering specific questions about how many red apples and how many yellow apples Lin had. While students may notice that there is more than one possible solution to the story problem, that is not highlighted until the next lesson.
When students explain to a partner how they have represented the apples they reason abstractly and quantitatively (MP2).
MLR8 Discussion Supports.
Use multimodal examples to show the meaning of “some of” and “the rest of.” Use verbal descriptions along with gestures, drawings, or concrete objects to show the groupings.
Advances: Listening, Representing
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Connecting cubes
Two-color counters
Launch
Groups of 2
Give students access to connecting cubes and two-color counters.
Read and display the task statement.
“Tell your partner what happened in the story.”
30 seconds: quiet think time
1 minute: partner discussion
Monitor for students who accurately retell the story. Choose at least one student to share with the class.
“Use objects or drawings to show what Lin’s apples could look like.”
Activity
3 minutes: independent work time
“Share how you showed Lin’s apples with your partner. Tell your partner how your objects or drawings show Lin’s apples.”
30 seconds: quiet think time
2 minutes: partner discussion
Monitor for students who use two-color counters to show 8 apples, some red and some yellow. Monitor for students who show different decompositions of 8, such as 5 and 3 and 4 and 4.
Student Facing
Lin picked 8 apples at the orchard.
Some of the apples were yellow.
The rest of the apples were red.

Activity Synthesis
Invite previously selected students to share.
As each student shares, ask:
“How many apples did Lin pick?”
“Where do you see the red apples that Lin picked?”
“Where do you see the yellow apples that Lin picked?”
“_____ used red and yellow counters to show Lin’s apples. What could I do if I wanted to draw a picture to show Lin’s apples?” (You could draw 4 red apples and 4 yellow apples. You could draw some circles. You could write r for red and y for yellow.)
