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 to multiply a fraction or whole number by a fraction.

Answer: 
No. The expressions shown in this problem do not involve multiplying fractions with other fractions, nor whole numbers with fractions.

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


Concept/skill: 
Understand that by similarity, side ratios in right triangles are properties of the angles in the triangle, leading to definitions of trigonometric ratios for acute angles.

Answer: 
No. This problem does not directly teach how side ratios in right triangles lead to definitions of trigonometric ratios. Instead, it involves solving a trigonometric function.

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

standard_description: Recognize angles as geometric shapes that are formed wherever two rays share a common endpoint, and understand concepts of angle measurement:
- An angle is measured with reference to a circle with its center at the common endpoint of the rays, by considering the fraction of the circular arc between the points where the two rays intersect the circle. An angle that turns through 1/360 of a circle is called a “one-degree angle,” and can be used to measure angles.
- An angle that turns through n one-degree angles is said to have an angle measure of n degrees.
problem_activity: Narrative
In this activity, students identify and sketch angles in their environment—in the text, graphics, and shapes in their physical surroundings—and reinforce the idea of an angle as a figure made up of two rays that share an endpoint.
In future lessons, students will look more closely at the properties of angles and consider how they can be measured and whether the length of the segments that form them impacts the size of the angles.
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Rulers or straightedges
Launch
Groups of 2
Give each student a ruler or a straightedge.
Activity
5 minutes: independent work time
2 minutes: partner discussion
Student Facing
Here are two figures.
[IMG]
Find 2–3 angles in each figure. Draw pairs of rays to show the angles.
Sketch a part of your classroom that has 2–3 angles. Draw pairs of rays to show the angles.

Advancing Student Thinking
Students may say they have identified an angle because they have found a vertex. Ask these students to explain what they mean and to describe the angle they see. Consider asking:
“How do you see the rays that share this vertex? Can you draw them?”
“Could more than one angle share a vertex? How could you use figure A from the previous activity to explain?”
Activity Synthesis
“How did you find the angles?” (We looked for intersections of segments. When the segments meet or cross, angles are formed.)
“Where is the vertex of each angle you found?”
