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.


Description: 
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.

Now, assess whether the following problem or activity aligns with the provided description.

standard_description: Apply and extend previous understandings of division to divide unit fractions by whole numbers and whole numbers by unit fractions. (Students able to multiply fractions in general can develop strategies to divide fractions in general, by reasoning about the relationship between multiplication and division. But division of a fraction by a fraction is not a requirement at this grade.)
problem_activity: Narrative
This activity serves two main purposes. The first is to allow students to apply their understanding that the result of
\(a \times \frac{1}{b}\)
is
\(\frac{a}{b}\)
. The second is for students to reinforce the idea that any non-unit fraction can be viewed in terms of equal groups of a unit fraction and expressed as a product of a whole number and a unit fraction.
The activity uses a “carousel” structure in which students complete a rotation of steps. Each student writes a non-unit fraction for their group mates to represent in terms of equal groups, using a diagram, and as a multiplication expression. The author of each fraction then verifies that the representations by others indeed show the written fraction. A
s students discuss and justify their decisions they create viable arguments and critiqe one another’s reasoning (MP3).
MLR8 Discussion Supports.
Display sentence frames to support small-group discussion after checking their fraction diagram and equation: “I agree because . . .”, “I disagree because . . . .”

“Let's now use the patterns we saw earlier to write some true equations showing multiplication of a whole number and a fraction.”
Activity
3 minutes: independent work time on the first set of problems
2 minutes: group discussion
Select students to explain how they reasoned about the missing numbers in the equations.
If not mentioned in students' explanations, emphasize that: “We can interpret
\(\frac{5}{10}\)
as 5 groups of
\(\frac{1}{10}\)
,
\(\frac{8}{6}\)
as 8 groups of
\(\frac{1}{6}\)
, and so on.”
“In an earlier activity, we found that we can write any fraction as a multiplication of a whole number and a unit fraction. You'll now show that this is the case using fractions written by your group mates.”
Demonstrate the 4 steps of the carousel using
\(\frac{7}{4}\)
for the first step.
Read each step aloud and complete a practice round as a class.
“What questions do you have about the task before you begin?”
5–7 minutes: group work time
Student Facing
Use the patterns you observed earlier to complete each equation so that it’s true.
\(5 \times \frac{1}{10} =  \underline{\hspace{0.5in}}\)
\(8 \times \frac{1}{6} = \underline{\hspace{0.5in}}\)
\(4 \times  \underline{\hspace{0.5in}} = \frac{4}{5}\)
\(6 \times  \underline{\hspace{0.5in}} = \frac{6}{10}\)
\( \underline{\hspace{0.5in}} \times \frac{1}{4}= \frac{3}{4}\)
\( \underline{\hspace{0.5in}} \times \frac{1}{12}= \frac{7}{12}\)
Your teacher will give you a sheet of paper. Work with your group of 3 and complete these steps on the paper. After each step, pass your paper to your right.
Step 1: Write a fraction with a numerator other than 1 and a denominator no greater than 12.
Step 2: Write the fraction you received as a product of a whole number and a unit fraction.
Step 3: Draw a diagram to represent the expression you just received.
Step 4: Collect your original paper. If you think the work is correct, explain why the expression and the diagram both represent the fraction that you wrote. If not, discuss what revisions are needed.
