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:
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: 
Explain equivalence of fractions in special cases, and compare fractions by reasoning about their size.
 Grade 3 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8.

Answer: 
Yes. By arranging the fractions in this problem, students learn to compare fractions by reasoning about their size.

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.

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

problem_activity: Problem 1
A company hires five people for the same job for one week. The amount that each person is paid for the week is shown in the table below.
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["table", "table-bordered"], "style": "width:100%"}, "tbody": [{"tr": [{"td": [{"strong": [{"_value": "Person"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Person A"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Person B"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Person C"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Person D"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Person E"}]}]}, {"td": [{"strong": [{"_value": "Amount Paid"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "$360"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "$340"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "$300"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "$200"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "$400"}]}]}]}]}
Person D states that the payments are not fair since each person is doing the same job and brings the same set of skills to the job. Everyone agrees that they should all get paid the same amount.
How much should each person get paid so that everyone gets the same amount? Assume that the company will spend the same amount as it currently is.
Problem 2
After finding the average or fair share payment for each person, Person E decides to not take the job because they would be making less money.
a.   If Person E leaves, then what is the new average payment of persons A–D?
b.   What impact did Person E leaving have on the average payment?
Problem 3
The company asks the five people how many hours each person worked that week to complete the job. The results are shown in the table below.
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["table", "table-bordered"], "style": "width:100%"}, "tbody": [{"tr": [{"td": [{"strong": [{"_value": "Person"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Person A"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Person B"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Person C"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Person D"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Person E"}]}]}, {"td": [{"strong": [{"_value": "Hours worked"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "24"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "28"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "22"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "20"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "36"}]}]}]}]}
What is the mean, or average, number of hours worked by a person last week?
