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.

problem_activity: Task
The half-life of Carbon $14$, that is, the time required for half of the Carbon $14$ in a sample to decay, is variable: not every Carbon $14$ specimen has exactly the same half life. The half-life for Carbon $14$ has a distribution that is approximately normal with a standard deviation of $40$ years. This explains why the Wikipedia article on Carbon $14$ lists the half-life of Carbon 14 as $5730 \pm 40$ years. Other resources report this half-life as the absolute amounts of $5730$ years, or sometimes simply $5700$ years.
Explain the meaning of these three quantities ($5730 \pm 40$, $5730$, and $5700$) focusing on how they differ.
Can all three of the reported half-lives for Carbon $14$ be correct? Explain.
What are some of the benefits and drawbacks for each of the three ways of describing the half-life of Carbon $14$?
