Example 1:
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: 
Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings (Drawings need not show details, but should show the mathematics in the problem. (This applies wherever drawings are mentioned in the Standards.)), sounds (e.g., claps), acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations.

Answer: 
Yes. This task involves representing addition with objects such as number cards and dice.

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 and division and of fractions to multiply and divide rational numbers.

Answer: 
Yes. This problem involves understanding fractions and division to divide rational numbers, such as 1, -4, 4, and -1. This problem also involves an understanding of multiplication: if p and q are integers, then -(p/q) = (-p)/q = p/(-q).

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.

2 bottles of water cost $5.00.
Fill in the table that shows the costs for 4, 6, and 8 bottles. Find the cost for a single bottle in each case.
{"table": [{"thead": [{"tr": [{"th": [{"_attributes": {"scope": "col"}, "_value": "Number of bottles"}, {"_attributes": {"scope": "col"}, "_value": "Cost (\\$)"}, {"_attributes": {"scope": "col"}, "_value": "Cost per bottle"}]}]}], "tbody": [{"tr": [{"td": [{"_value": "$$2$$"}, {"_value": "$$5$$"}, {}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "$$4$$"}, {}, {}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "$$6$$"}, {}, {}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "$$8$$"}, {}, {}]}]}]}]}
5 granola bars cost $4.00
Fill in the table that shows the costs for 10, 15, and 20 granola bars. Find the cost for a single granola bar in each case.
{"table": [{"thead": [{"tr": [{"th": [{"_attributes": {"scope": "col"}, "_value": "Number of granola bars"}, {"_attributes": {"scope": "col"}, "_value": "Cost (\\$)"}, {"_attributes": {"scope": "col"}, "_value": "Cost per bar"}]}]}], "tbody": [{"tr": [{"td": [{"_value": "$$5$$"}, {"_value": "$$4$$"}, {}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "$$10$$"}, {}, {}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "$$15$$"}, {}, {}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "$$20$$"}, {}, {}]}]}]}]}
Explain why if you can buy $a$ items for $b$ dollars, or buy $2a$ items for $2b$ dollars, the cost per item is the same in either case.
