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.

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
The purpose of this activity is for students to subtract one-digit and two-digit numbers from a three-digit number using the methods that make sense to them. Each difference would require students to decompose a ten to subtract by place. They may count back or count on by place to find the difference. They may also use their understanding of place value and their experiences decomposing a ten when they subtracted within 100. In the synthesis, focus on connecting and comparing these different methods and making sense of representations that show decomposing a unit when subtracting by place.
When students use base-ten blocks, number lines, or equations to find the value of each difference they use appropriate tools strategically (MP5).

Engagement: Provide Access by Recruiting Interest.
Optimize meaning and value. Invite students to share ideas of items to sell (cupcakes, sports cards, video games, etc.) and use that as the context around the problems to solve. Discuss the action of selling to represent subtraction.

Activity
“Find the value of each expression in any way that makes sense to you. Explain or show your reasoning.”
3–4 minutes: independent work time
3–4 minutes: partner discussion
Monitor for an expression that generates a variety of student methods or representations to share in the synthesis, such as:
using base-ten blocks
drawing a number line
writing their reasoning in words
writing equations

Activity Synthesis
MLR7 Compare and Connect
Invite one previously identified student who used a method that did not explicitly show decomposing a ten to share.
Invite one previously identified student to show how they decomposed a ten to subtract with base-ten blocks or a base-ten diagram.
“What is the same and what is different about the ways _____ and _____ represented the problem?” (____ used base-ten blocks and showed decomposing a ten. _____ showed a number line and counting back 36. They used the same numbers. They found the same difference.)
