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 multiply multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.

Answer: 
Yes. This set of problems involves multi-digit whole numbers because the numbers in each problem are four and two digit integers, and the mathematical calculations involved in both problems focus on multiplication. The first problem explicitly asks the student to solve its subproblems using the standard algorithm.

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

standard_description: Represent real world and mathematical problems by graphing points in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane, and interpret coordinate values of points in the context of the situation.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to describe coordinates for points. After playing a round of What’s the Point, students have an opportunity to write a description of the location of a point in the coordinate plane. The structure of this part of the activity mirrors what students did in the previous lesson when they were describing a rectangle. Some students may use the coordinates on the grid while others may use words to describe the location of the point.
Students make choices about how to revise their thinking based on what makes the description stronger and clearer to them. This activity not only supports students developing language to describe the location of a point but also develops a deeper understanding of the coordinate grid (MP6). Invite students to use language from the display from an earlier lesson if they find it helpful.
This activity uses
MLR1 Stronger and Clearer Each Time
. Advances: Reading, Writing.
Required Materials
Materials to Copy
What's the Point
Required Preparation
Create a set of cards from the blackline master for each group of 2.
Launch
Groups of 2.
Activity
10 minutes: partner work time
Monitor for students who:
revise their thinking
refer to the numbers on the coordinate grid to communicate the location of the point
MLR1 Stronger and Clearer Each Time
“Share your description of the location of the point on the grid with your partner. Take turns being the speaker and the listener. If you are the speaker, share your ideas and writing so far. If you are the listener, ask questions and give feedback to help your partner improve their work.”
3–5 minutes: structured partner discussion
Repeat with 1–2 different partners.
If needed, display question starters and prompts for feedback, such as:
“Can you use the numbers on the coordinate grid in your explanation?”
“Revise your initial draft based on the feedback you got from your partner.”
2–3 minutes: independent work time
Student Facing
Play 2 rounds of What’s the Point so each partner gets a chance to draw.
Sit back to back with your partner.
Partner A: Choose a card. Then, describe the location of the point to your partner.
Partner B: Draw the point on the blank coordinate grid.
Compare the card with your partner’s diagram.
Discuss: What’s the same? What’s different?

Advancing Student Thinking
If students do not reference the axes or the directionality of the gridlines, show them point
\((3, 4)\)
and point
\((4, 3)\)
on a grid and ask, “What is the same and different about these two points?”
Activity Synthesis
Select previously identified students to share how they revised their explanation for the location of the point in the last problem.
Display the image of the coordinate grid with a point from the student workbook.
“The point can be described using the
coordinates
\((3, 4)\)
. Where do you think these coordinates come from?” (They describe the location of the point. The point is on gridline 3 and gridline 4. The point is where these gridlines intersect.)
