Problem/activity:
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:
For each pair of numbers, determine if the values are equivalent. Explain your reasoning for each one.
a.
$$-0.25$$
and
$$\frac{1}{-4}$$
b.
$$-\left ( \frac{1}{4} \right )$$
and
$$\frac{-1}{-4}$$
c.
$$\frac{-1}{4}$$
and
$$-\frac{1}{4}$$


Description: 
Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a fraction or whole number by a fraction.

Answer: 
No. The expressions shown in this problem do not involve multiplying fractions with other fractions, nor whole numbers with fractions.

Example 3:
Problem/activity:
Find the general solution for:
$${\mathrm{cos}\left({\pi\over2}+x\right)=\mathrm{tan}{\pi\over4}}$$


Description: 
Prove the addition and subtraction formulas for sine, cosine, and tangent and use them to solve problems.

Answer: 
Yes. An initial step when solving for x in this problem requires the use of the addition formula for cosine on the left side of the equation.

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

standard_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.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to determine how a number line is partitioned and what fraction is marked on it with only 0, 1, and 2 labeled. Students partition and locate and mark, but don’t label, a fraction on a number line and then trade with a partner to determine the fraction their partner has marked. Remind students to mark, but not to label their partitions and their fraction, so that their partner only has the 0, 1, and 2 to use to determine what fraction is on their number line.
Launch
Groups of 2
“Complete the first part of the activity on your own. Partition the number line and mark, but don’t label, a fraction on the number line. Don’t tell your partner how you are partitioning or what number you are marking.”
2 minutes: independent work time
Activity
“Now, trade number lines with your partner and answer the questions about their number line. When you are both finished, share your reasoning”
1–2 minutes: independent work time
1–2 minutes: partner work time
Student Facing
Partition the number line into any number of equal-size parts. Locate and mark, but don’t label, a fraction of your choice.
[IMG]
Trade number lines with a partner.
How did your partner partition their number line?
What number did your partner mark on their number line? Explain your reasoning.
If you have time, play the game again.

Activity Synthesis
Display a number line partitioned by a student.
“Talk to your partner about what fraction is represented.”
Share and record responses.
Consider asking:
“How did you decide how to partition your number line and what fraction you’d put on your number line?”
“How did you decide how your partner’s number line was partitioned and decide what fraction was marked?”
