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: 
Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings (Drawings need not show details, but should show the mathematics in the problem. (This applies wherever drawings are mentioned in the Standards.)), sounds (e.g., claps), acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations.

Answer: 
Yes. This task involves representing addition with objects such as number cards and dice.

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

standard_description: Fluently add and subtract within 1000 using strategies and algorithms based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to add 2 two-digit numbers within 100 and show their thinking with equations. Although some students may write each step of their thinking with equations, it is not required that they do so. Students can write one equation that shows the sum and represent their solution pathway in their drawings. In the activity synthesis, students present their method verbally to a new partner.
This activity uses
MLR8 Discussion Supports. Advances: listening, speaking, conversing
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Connecting cubes in towers of 10 and singles
Launch
Groups of 2
Give students access to connecting cubes in towers of 10 and singles.
“We have been learning about different ways to add within 100. You are going to find sums using a method that makes most sense to you for each problem. Record equations to show your thinking.”
Activity
5 minutes: independent work time
“Compare your work with your partner’s. Did you use the same method? Did you represent your method in the same way? How is your work the same? How is it different?"
5 minutes: partner work time
Monitor for a student who wrote equations related to making ten and one who wrote equations related to adding by place.
Student Facing
Find the value of each sum using any method that you want.
Show your thinking using drawings, numbers, or words.
Write equations to represent your thinking.

Activity Synthesis
MLR8 Discussion Supports:
Display sentence frames to support students when they explain their method as equations:
“First, I _____ because . . .”
“I noticed _____ so I . . .”
“You are going to explain your method to another student in the class. Practice what you will say with your partner. Use these sentence starters to help you.”
3 minutes: partner discussion
“Find a new partner and explain your method.”
