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: Describe objects in the environment using names of shapes, and describe the relative positions of these objects using terms such as above, below, beside, in front of, behind, and next to.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to put together pattern blocks to form larger shapes in more than one way. Students create hexagons using different combinations of pattern blocks. In the synthesis, students discuss whether the same pattern blocks in different orientations should be considered as different ways to make a hexagon (MP3). There is no one correct answer to the question. The goal is for students to notice and discuss that the same pattern blocks are arranged in different orientations.
MLR8 Discussion Supports.
To support the transfer of new vocabulary to long-term memory, invite students to chorally repeat these words in unison 1–2 times: more, fewer, the same as.
Advances: Listening, Speaking
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Pattern blocks
Launch
Groups of 2
Give each group of students pattern blocks.
“Work with your partner to find many different ways to make hexagons with pattern blocks. Tell your partner about the shapes that you use each time using ‘more’, ‘fewer’, or ‘the same number’.”

Advancing Student Thinking
If students find one or two ways to fill in the hexagon pattern block puzzle:
“Tell me more about which pattern blocks you used to make the hexagon.”
“Can you use these green triangle pattern blocks to make this red trapezoid pattern block? How can that help you find another way to fill in the hexagon?”
Activity Synthesis
Invite students to share different ways they made a hexagon.
As students share, say “Tell your partner about the shapes that they used using ‘more’, ‘fewer’, or ‘the same number’.”
Display all of the ways to make a hexagon that students have shared.
“Are there any other ways to make a hexagon with pattern blocks?”
Display 2 hexagons created with 2 blue rhombus pattern blocks and 2 green triangle pattern blocks in different orientations:

“Han and Clare shared these ways to make a hexagon with pattern blocks. Are these the same way to make a hexagon or a different way? Why do you think that?” (They are the same because they used the same pattern blocks but put them in different spots. It looks like they flipped it. They are different because the pattern blocks are in different places, so they look different.)
