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.

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

K
standard_description: Add and subtract within 1000, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method. Understand that in adding or subtracting three-digit numbers, one adds or subtracts hundreds and hundreds, tens and tens, ones and ones; and sometimes it is necessary to compose or decompose tens or hundreds.
problem_activity: Narrative
In this warm-up, students practice estimating a reasonable answer using known information, rounding, and multiplicative reasoning strategies. For example, students may create a diagram and arrive at
\(7 \times 7 \times 7 \times 7\)
as an estimate of the number of fish. Then, they may approximate
\((7 \times 7) \times (7 \times 7)\)
with
\(50 \times 50\)
, or estimate
\((7 \times 7 \times 7) \times 7\)
with
\((50 \times 7) \times 7\)
or
\(350 \times 7\)
. Some students may notice that the question is vague and asks, “How many are going to the park?” rather than “How many people are going to the park?” and account only for the number of children and teachers in their estimation. If students ask for clarification, ask them to make their own assumptions and explain why they made those assumptions when they share their estimates.

How many are going to the park?
Record an estimate that is:
|                    too low                     |                  about right                   |                    too high                    |

Activity Synthesis
Consider asking:
“Is anyone’s estimate less than 500? Greater than 5,000?”
“Did anyone include the number of teachers and students in their estimate?”
Invite students to share their estimation strategies. After each explanation, ask if others reasoned the same way.
Consider revealing the actual value of 2,457 teachers, students, and fish.
