 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: 
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?

Answer: 
Yes. In this activity, students write word problems that compare coin amounts.

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

problem_activity: Task
Complete the table. In the third column, show your work as demonstrated. What do you notice about the 3rd column?
| $x$ | $y=2x+5$ | $\Delta y$ |
|-----|----------|------------|
|  1  |    7     |    ----    |
|  2  |    9     | 9 - 7 = 2  |
|  3  |          |            |
|  4  |          |            |
|  5  |          |            |
Complete the table, showing your work as above. What do you notice about the 3rd column? What is the graphical interpretation of this?
| $x$ |    $y=ax+b$    |            $\Delta y$             |
|-----|----------------|-----------------------------------|
|  1  | $a\cdot 1 +b$  |                ---                |
|  2  | $a \cdot 2 +b$ | $a\cdot 2+b - (a\cdot 1 + b) = a$ |
|  3  |                |                                   |
|  4  |                |                                   |
|  5  |                |                                   |
Let $y=ax+b$. Let $x_0$ be any particular $x$-value. Show that if $x_0$ is increased by 1, the corresponding $\Delta y$ is a constant that does not depend on $x_0$. What is this constant?
Does (a) serve as an example of the result in (c) ? Explain.
