 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: Choose a level of accuracy appropriate to limitations on measurement when reporting quantities.
problem_activity: Task
The half-life of Carbon $14$, that is, the time required for half of the Carbon $14$ in a sample to decay, is variable: not every Carbon $14$ specimen has exactly the same half life. The half-life for Carbon $14$ has a distribution that is approximately normal with a standard deviation of $40$ years. This explains why the Wikipedia article on Carbon $14$ lists the half-life of Carbon 14 as $5730 \pm 40$ years. Other resources report this half-life as the absolute amounts of $5730$ years, or sometimes simply $5700$ years.
Explain the meaning of these three quantities ($5730 \pm 40$, $5730$, and $5700$) focusing on how they differ.
Can all three of the reported half-lives for Carbon $14$ be correct? Explain.
What are some of the benefits and drawbacks for each of the three ways of describing the half-life of Carbon $14$?
