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: Know and apply the properties of integer exponents to generate equivalent numerical expressions. For example, 3^(2) × 3^(–5) = 3^(–3) = 1/3^(3) = 1/27.
problem_activity: Problem 1
Julia, Keller, and Isreal are volunteer firefighters. On Saturday, the volunteer fire department held its annual coin drop fundraiser at a streetlight. After one hour, Keller had collected $42.50 more than Julia, and Isreal had collected $15 less than Keller. The three firefighters collected $125.95 in total. How much did each person collect?
Problem 2
Your parents are redecorating the dining room and want to place two rectangular pictures, each measuring 25 inches across, on the wall, which measures
$${10 {2\over3}}$$
feet long. They want to place the pictures so that the distance between the pictures and the distances from each picture to the end of the wall are the same, as shown in the diagram below.
[IMG]
Determine the distance each picture should be placed from the ends of the wall. Explain the strategy that you used.
Problem 3
Three toothpick configurations are shown in the chart below.
[IMG]
a.   Extend the pattern to complete the chart.
b.   How many toothpicks will be in the 10th design?
c.   Write an expression to represent the number of toothpicks in the
$$n$$
th design.
d.   Which design will have 175 toothpicks? Write and solve an equation.
