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: 
Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings (Drawings need not show details, but should show the mathematics in the problem. (This applies wherever drawings are mentioned in the Standards.)), sounds (e.g., claps), acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations.

Answer: 
Yes. This task involves representing addition with objects such as number cards and dice.

Example 2:
Problem/activity:
Task
 Arrange the fractions in order from least to greatest. Explain your answer with a picture.
 $\frac{1}{5}, \frac{1}{7}, \frac{1}{3} $
 $\frac{2}{5}, \frac{2}{7}, \frac{2}{3} $
 $\frac{5}{6}, \frac{3}{6}, \frac{1}{6} $
 $\frac{5}{12}, \frac{8}{12}, \frac{4}{12} $

Concept/skill: 
Understand a fraction as a number on the number line; represent fractions on a number line diagram.
 Grade 3 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8.

Answer: 
No. Completing this task does not involve representing fractions on a number line diagram.

Example 3:
Problem/activity:
Problem 1
Solve using the standard algorithm. If you get stuck, use an area model and/or the partial products algorithm to help. Then assess the reasonableness of your answer.
a.
$$5,803\times46$$
b.
$$63\times2,116$$
Problem 2
Dunkin' introduced a croissant doughnut in 2014. In the first three months of its debut, they sold 7,870 dozen of them per day. How many croissant doughnuts were sold in the first three months?


Concept/skill: 
Fluently add and subtract multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to whole numbers less than or equal to 1,000,000.

Answer: 
No. This set of problems does not directly involve adding or subtracting multi-digit whole numbers. Instead, it focuses on multiplying multi-digit whole numbers.

standard_description: 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?
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to convert from meters to centimeters using the context of a standing broad jump, a common test for physical fitness. Students may multiply by 100 to convert from meters to centimeters or divide by 100 to convert from centimeters to meters. Students should be encouraged to use whatever strategy makes sense to them. Future lessons will focus specifically on conversion from centimeters to meters. Give students access to meter sticks.

“What do you notice? What do you wonder?” (The girl is jumping. There are numbers on the mat. Did she start where the footprints are? How far did she jump?)
Activity
1–2 minutes: quiet think time
6–8 minutes: partner work time
Monitor for students who:
use their result for Tyler’s jump in centimeters to find his jump in millimeters
use the result in meters to find how far Tyler jumped in millimeters

Here are the distances that each student jumped.
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"border": "1"}, "thead": [{"tr": [{"th": [{"_attributes": {"scope": "col"}, "_value": "student"}, {"_attributes": {"scope": "col"}, "_value": "distance"}]}]}], "tbody": [{"tr": [{"td": [{"_value": "Mai"}, {"_value": "1.61 meters"}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "Tyler"}, {"_value": "1.43 meters"}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "Clare"}, {"_value": "1.57 meters"}]}]}]}]}
The average standing broad jump distance for 5th graders is 148 centimeters. Are each of the students in the table below, at, or above the average? Explain or show your reasoning.
The world record for the standing broad jump is 337 centimeters. Jada says that’s more than Mai and Clare jumped combined. Do you agree with Jada? Explain or show your reasoning.
Tyler says his jump sounds more impressive if he reports it in millimeters.
How far is Tyler’s jump in millimeters? What about Mai’s and Clare’s jumps?
Which unit do you think is best for reporting the jumps? Explain your reasoning.

Advancing Student Thinking
If students do not know the relationship between millimeters, centimeters, and meters, show them a meter stick and ask “How can you use the meter stick to figure out how many millimeters are in 1 meter?”
Activity Synthesis
Display the expression:
\(1.43 \times 100\)
.
“How does this expression represent Tyler’s jump in centimeters?” (There are 100 centimeters in a meter.)
Invite students to share how they found Tyler’s jump in millimeters.
Display the expression:
\((1.43 \times 100) \times 10\)
.
“In what unit of measurement does this expression represent Tyler's jump? How do you know?” (It represents Tyler’s jump in millimeters. There are 10 millimeters in a centimeter and
\(1.43\times100\)
represents the centimeters, so if we multiply the number of centimeters by 10, we will get the number of millimeters.)
Display the expression:
\(1.43 \times 1,\!000\)
.
“How does this expression represent Tyler’s jump in millimeters?” (There are 1,000 millimeters in a meter so I have to multiply by 1,000 to get millimeters from meters.)
Display the equation:
\(1.43 \times 1,\!000 = (1.43 \times 100) \times 10\)
.
Invite students to share which unit they prefer to express the distances that the students jumped.
“It’s important to choose a unit that makes sense to you.”
