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: 
Understand that by similarity, side ratios in right triangles are properties of the angles in the triangle, leading to definitions of trigonometric ratios for acute angles.

Answer: 
No. This problem does not directly teach how side ratios in right triangles lead to definitions of trigonometric ratios. Instead, it involves solving a trigonometric function.

standard_description: Describe measurable attributes of objects, such as length or weight. Describe several measurable attributes of a single object.
problem_activity: Problem 1
At a market, long-grain rice can be purchased in any weight, measured in pounds. The cost and weight are proportional, for example, 5 pounds of rice costs $4.
a.   Write an equation to represent the cost,
$$y$$
, to purchase
$$x$$
pounds of long-grain rice.
b.   Determine the cost of 1, 10, and 15 pounds of rice.
c.   Graph the relationship between cost and weight of rice in the coordinate plane.
d.   What is the slope of the graph? What does it mean as a unit rate?
Problem 2
Nia and Trey both had a sore throat so their mom told them to gargle with warm salt water.
Nia mixed 1 teaspoon salt with 3 cups water.
Trey mixed
$${1\over 2}$$
teaspoon salt with 1
$${{1\over2}}$$
cups of water.
Nia tasted Trey’s salt water. She said,
“I added more salt so I expected that mine would be more salty, but they taste the same.”
a.   Explain why the salt water mixtures taste the same.
b.   Find an equation that relates
$$s$$
, the number of teaspoons of salt, with
$$w$$
, the number of cups of water, for both of these mixtures.
c.   Draw the graph of your equation from part (b).
d.   Your graph in part (c) should be a line. Interpret the slope as a unit rate.
