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.

Example 2:
Problem/activity:
Task
 Arrange the fractions in order from least to greatest. Explain your answer with a picture.
 $\frac{1}{5}, \frac{1}{7}, \frac{1}{3} $
 $\frac{2}{5}, \frac{2}{7}, \frac{2}{3} $
 $\frac{5}{6}, \frac{3}{6}, \frac{1}{6} $
 $\frac{5}{12}, \frac{8}{12}, \frac{4}{12} $

Description: 
Understand a fraction as a number on the number line; represent fractions on a number line diagram.
 Grade 3 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8.

Answer: 
No. Completing this task does not involve representing fractions on a number line diagram.

Example 3:
Problem/activity:
Problem 1
Solve using the standard algorithm. If you get stuck, use an area model and/or the partial products algorithm to help. Then assess the reasonableness of your answer.
a.
$$5,803\times46$$
b.
$$63\times2,116$$
Problem 2
Dunkin' introduced a croissant doughnut in 2014. In the first three months of its debut, they sold 7,870 dozen of them per day. How many croissant doughnuts were sold in the first three months?


Description: 
Fluently add and subtract multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to whole numbers less than or equal to 1,000,000.

Answer: 
No. This set of problems does not directly involve adding or subtracting multi-digit whole numbers. Instead, it focuses on multiplying multi-digit whole numbers.

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

standard_description: Use decimal notation for fractions with denominators 10 or 100. For example, rewrite 0.62 as 62/100; describe a length as 0.62 meters; locate 0.62 on a number line diagram.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 100.
problem_activity: Narrative
In this activity, students notice as the divisor increases for a given dividend, the quotient gets smaller. Students may recognize and explain the relationship between multiplication and division. For example, they may notice that dividing one quarter into two equal pieces is the same as finding the product of
\(\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{4}\)
. This relationship is not explicitly brought up in the synthesis, but if students describe this relationship, connect it to the student work that is discussed in the synthesis, as appropriate. When students notice a pattern, they look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning (MP8).
Engagement: Provide Access by Recruiting Interest.
Invite students to share a situation in their own lives that could be used to represent one of the division expressions.

Student Facing
Find the value that makes each equation true. Use a diagram if it is helpful.
\(\frac {1}{4} \div 2 = \underline{\hspace{1 cm}}\)
\(\frac {1}{4} \div 3 = \underline{\hspace{1 cm}}\)
\(\frac {1}{4} \div 4 = \underline{\hspace{1 cm}}\)
What patterns do you notice?
How would you find the value of
\(\frac{1}{4}\)
divided by any whole number? Explain or show your reasoning.

Advancing Student Thinking
If students do not explain how they would find the value of
\(\frac{1}{4}\)
divided by any whole number, prompt them to find the value of
\(\frac{1}{4} \div 5\)
and
\(\frac{1}{4} \div 6\)
and ask, “What is the relationship between the divisor and the quotient?”
Activity Synthesis
Display:
\(\frac {1}{4} \div 2 = \frac {1}{8}\)
\(\frac {1}{4} \div 3 = \frac {1}{12}\)
\(\frac {1}{4} \div 4 = \frac {1}{16}\)
“What patterns do you notice?” (The quotient is getting smaller. The denominator of the quotient is getting bigger. The denominator in the quotient increases by 4. The denominator in the quotient is equal to 4 times the number you are dividing by.)
“Why is the quotient getting smaller?” (Because we are dividing
\(\frac {1}{4}\)
into more pieces each time, so the size of each piece will be smaller.)
