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: 
Explain equivalence of fractions in special cases, and compare fractions by reasoning about their size.
 Grade 3 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8.

Answer: 
Yes. By arranging the fractions in this problem, students learn to compare fractions by reasoning about their size.

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: Solve real-world and mathematical problems by writing and solving equations of the form x + p = q and px = q for cases in which p, q and x are all nonnegative rational numbers.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to practice adding within 1,000 with an emphasis on adding by place. Throughout the activity, students have opportunities to explain their methods and representations to peers. In the synthesis, students have opportunities to question and critique the work of their peers as they compare different methods for adding three-digit numbers and different representations that show composing units when adding by place (MP3).
This activity uses
MLR8 Discussion Supports
. Advances: conversing
Engagement: Provide Access by Recruiting Interest.
Provide choice. Invite students to decide which problem to start with and the strategy they feel most comfortable solving with.
Supports accessibility for: Social-Emotional Functioning, Organization, Attention
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Base-ten blocks
Launch
Groups of 2
Give students access to base-ten blocks.
Activity
“We are going to practice adding 2 three-digit numbers. You can find the value of each sum in any way that makes sense to you. After some time working independently, you can continue working with a partner.”
MLR8 Discussion Supports
Display sentence frames to support students when they explain their strategy:
“First, I _____ because . . .”
“I noticed _____ so I . . .”
5 minutes: independent work time
4 minutes: partner work time
“Choose one expression and share how you found the value of the sum with a new partner.”
3 minutes: partner discussion
Monitor for students who use base-ten blocks, base-ten diagrams, or other representations that clearly show adding by place.
Student Facing
Find the value of each expression. Show your thinking.
\(384 + 409\)
\(757 + 152\)
\(262 + 438\)
\(575 + 166\)

Advancing Student Thinking
If students lose track of the tens or hundreds they compose (for example,
\(384 + 409 = 783\)
) or do not compose a ten or hundred, prompt students to explain their thinking and any representations they use. Consider asking:
“How does your representation show that you composed a new unit?”
“What could you add to your representation to help you keep track of any tens or hundreds you compose?”
“How could you use base-ten blocks to show your thinking?”
Activity Synthesis
Invite 2–3 previously identified students to share their representations and how they found the value of the sums.
“How are these methods the same? How are they different?”
