 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.

Description: 
Solve word problems involving dollar bills, quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies, using $ and ¬¢ symbols appropriately. Example: If you have 2 dimes and 3 pennies, how many cents do you have?

Answer: 
Yes. In this activity, students write word problems that compare coin amounts.

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

standard_description: Classify two-dimensional figures based on the presence or absence of parallel or perpendicular lines, or the presence or absence of angles of a specified size. Recognize right triangles as a category, and identify right triangles.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to make sense of an Add To, Change Unknown story problem and identify the answer within an equation. Students are presented with a drawn representation and an equation to interpret. Students consider what each number in the equation means in relation to the story problem and drawn representation (MP2). They determine that the written equation is incorrect, and explain why using their own thinking. When students practice explaining their thinking, they begin to develop and refine their mathematical communication skills, and attend to precision (MP6). Students identify that even though Mai's equation has the correct numbers she identified the wrong number as the solution to the problem (MP3).
Students keep their books closed for the launch of the activity, as the teacher displays and reads the problem.
Action and Expression: Internalize Executive Functions.
Invite students to plan a method, including the tools they will use, for solving the rest of the story problems. If time allows, invite students to share their plan with a partner before they begin.

"I am going to read another story problem. Think about what you notice and wonder about the problem as I read aloud."
Display and read the problem with missing information.
30 seconds: quiet think time
Share and record answers.
Activity
"Now we will get more information and see how Lin solved the problem."
Read the problem aloud.
"Look at Lin's drawing and her equation. Think about how she solved the problem."
1 minute: quiet think time
“Share your thinking with your partner. Then show whether or not you think Lin's equation is correct.”
4 minutes: partner work time
Student Facing
Andre checked out some books from the library.
Mai gives him more books.
Now he has 9 books.
What do you notice?
What do you wonder?
Andre checked out 3 books from the library.
Mai gives him some more books.
Now he has 9 books.
How many books did Mai give him?
Lin made this drawing.
[IMG]
She wrote the equation
\(3 + 6 = \boxed{9}\)
Is her equation correct?
Show your thinking using drawings, number, or words.

Activity Synthesis
“How does Lin’s drawing show the story problem?” (She shows the three books Andre starts with, and the six books she needs to get to nine.)
"Does Lin's equation match the story? Why or why not?" (No. The answer to the problem is how many books Mai gives Andre. That answer is 6, so the equation should be
\(3 + \boxed{6} = 9\)
.)
If needed ask, “How does this equation match the story problem?” (Andre has three books. Mai gives him six, which is the answer, so that he has nine total.)
