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:
For each pair of numbers, determine if the values are equivalent. Explain your reasoning for each one.
a.
$$-0.25$$
and
$$\frac{1}{-4}$$
b.
$$-\left ( \frac{1}{4} \right )$$
and
$$\frac{-1}{-4}$$
c.
$$\frac{-1}{4}$$
and
$$-\frac{1}{4}$$


Concept/skill: 
Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division and of fractions to multiply and divide rational numbers.

Answer: 
Yes. This problem involves understanding fractions and division to divide rational numbers, such as 1, -4, 4, and -1. This problem also involves an understanding of multiplication: if p and q are integers, then -(p/q) = (-p)/q = p/(-q).

Example 3:
Problem/activity:
Find the general solution for:
$${\mathrm{cos}\left({\pi\over2}+x\right)=\mathrm{tan}{\pi\over4}}$$


Concept/skill: 
Prove the addition and subtraction formulas for sine, cosine, and tangent and use them to solve problems.

Answer: 
Yes. An initial step when solving for x in this problem requires the use of the addition formula for cosine on the left side of the equation.

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

standard_description: Find the greatest common factor of two whole numbers less than or equal to 100 and the least common multiple of two whole numbers less than or equal to 12. Use the distributive property to express a sum of two whole numbers 1–100 with a common factor as a multiple of a sum of two whole numbers with no common factor. For example, express 36 + 8 as 4 (9 + 2).

Problem 2
Here are the low temperatures (in Celsius) for one week in Juneau, Alaska:
| **           Monday          ** | **           Tuesday          ** | **           Wednesday          ** | **           Thursday          ** | **           Friday          ** | **           Saturday          ** | **           Sunday          ** |

a.   Arrange the temperatures in order from coldest to warmest temperature.
b.   On a winter day, the low temperature in Anchorage was
$$23$$
degrees below
$$0$$
°C, and the low temperature in Minneapolis was
$$14$$
degrees below
$$0$$
°C. Sophia wrote: “Minneapolis was colder because
$$-14 < -23$$
.” Is Sophia's statement correct? Explain your answer.
c.   The lowest temperature ever recorded on Earth was
$$-89$$
°C in Antarctica. The average temperature on Mars is about
$$-55$$
°C. Which is warmer, the coldest temperature on Earth or the average temperature on Mars? Write an inequality to support your answer.
Problem 3
The elevation of New Orleans, Louisiana, is
$$7$$
feet below sea level. The elevation of Coachella, California, is
$$-72$$
feet. Write an inequality to compare the elevations of the two cities.
