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:
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 multiply multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.

Answer: 
Yes. This set of problems involves multi-digit whole numbers because the numbers in each problem are four and two digit integers, and the mathematical calculations involved in both problems focus on multiplication. The first problem explicitly asks the student to solve its subproblems using the standard algorithm.

Now, assess whether the following problem or activity aligns with the provided description.

standard_description: Use data from a randomized experiment to compare two treatments; use simulations to decide if differences between parameters are significant.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to add or subtract to find unknown addends within 20. Students will find unknown addends when the total is 20. The known addends may encourage students to think about ways to make a ten and to use the sums and differences that they know (MP7).
MLR7 Compare and Connect.
Synthesis: After all strategies have been presented, lead a discussion comparing, contrasting, and connecting the different approaches. Ask, “Why did the different approaches lead to the same outcome? What did the methods have in common? How were they different?”
Advances: Representing, Conversing
Engagement: Develop Effort and Persistence.
Students may benefit from feedback that emphasizes effort and time on task. For example, give feedback on the partner relationship and how students are able to work together to complete a task. Encourage both partners to share ideas and speak up to agree or disagree.

Required Materials
Materials to Copy
Number Cards 0-19
Required Preparation
Create a set of cards for each group of 2.
Launch
Groups of 2
Give each group a set of cards.
Activity
“Let’s play another game to find unknown addends.”
Select a volunteer to be your partner.
“Partner A will draw a card and hold it on their forehead without looking.”
Prompt the volunteer to demonstrate.
“Partner B names a number that you can add to the number on the card to get to 20.”
Think aloud finding and naming the number.
“Partner A then names the number they are holding on their head.”
Prompt the volunteer to find the number.
“Check your work and write an equation to represent how you found an unknown addend in the turn. Share your equation with your partner. Switch roles and play again.”
12 minutes: partner work time
Monitor for students who:
use place value reasoning or look to make 10
use known addition or subtraction facts
make equivalent, but easier sums or differences
Student Facing
Directions:
Partner A holds a card on their forehead without looking.
Partner B names the number that you can add to the number on the card to get 20.
Partner A says the number on their card.
Record an equation to represent how you found the unknown addend.

Activity Synthesis
“Mai thought of trying to make 2 tens. What number needs to be added to 12 to make 2 tens?”
“What other methods did you use to find the unknown addend?”
Invite previously identified students to share methods.
“Pull out the number cards for 0–9, as you will use them in the next activity.”
