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 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.

problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to relate multiplying a non-unit fraction by a whole number to multiplying a unit fraction by the same whole number. After finding the value of
\(\frac{1}{5} \times 3\)
in a way that makes sense to them, they then consider the value of the products
\(\frac{2}{5} \times 3\)
and
\(\frac{3}{5} \times 3\)
. In the synthesis students address how they can use the value of
\(\frac{1}{5} \times 3\)
to find the value other expressions.

Groups of 2
Activity
8 minutes: independent work time
Monitor for students who:
draw a diagram
use division to solve
recognize a relationship between
\(\frac{1}{5}\times3\)
,
\(\frac{2}{5}\times3\)
, and
\(\frac{3}{5}\times3\)
.
Student Facing
Find the value of each expression. Explain or show your reasoning. Draw a diagram if it is helpful.
\(\frac{1}{5} \times 3\)
\(\frac{2}{5} \times 3\)
\(\frac{3}{5} \times 3\)

Display:
\(\frac{1}{5} \times 3\)

\(\frac{2}{5} \times 3\)
,
\(\frac{3}{5} \times 3\)
“How are the expressions the same?” (They all have a 3. They all have some fifths and there is a product.)
“How are the expressions different?” (The number of fifths is different. There is 1 and then 2 and then 3.)
“How can you use the value of
\(\frac{1}{5} \times 3\)
to help find the value of
\(\frac{2}{5} \times 3\)
?” (I can just double the result because it’s
\(\frac{2}{5}\)
instead of
\(\frac{1}{5}\)
.)
“What about
\(\frac{3}{5} \times 3\)
?” (That’s just another
\(\frac{1}{5} \times 3\)
.)
Display diagram from student solution or a student generated diagram like it.
“How does the diagram show
\(\frac{1}{5} \times 3\)
?” (There is 3 total and
\(\frac{1}{5}\)
of it is shaded.)
Display:
\(\frac{2}{5} \times 3\)
.
“How could you adapt the diagram to show
\(\frac{2}{5} \times 3\)
?” (I could fill in 2 of the fifths in each whole instead of 1.)
“In the next activity we will study a diagram for
\(\frac{2}{5} \times 3\)
more.”
