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: 
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.

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

standard_description: Convert among different-sized standard measurement units within a given measurement system (e.g., convert 5 cm to 0.05 m), and use these conversions in solving multi-step, real world problems.
problem_activity: Activity
The purpose of this activity is to have students identify corresponding parts in congruent triangles.
Identify students who:
make general statements such as “The lines look parallel.”
make arguments based on properties of rotations
make arguments based on alternate interior angles being congruent
Making dynamic geometry software available gives students an opportunity to choose appropriate tools strategically (MP5).
Launch
Representation: Internalize Comprehension.
Demonstrate and encourage students to use color coding and annotations to highlight connections between representations in a problem. For example, mark congruent angles with the same color.

Visual-spatial processing
Student Facing
Draw a triangle.
Find the midpoint of the longest side of your triangle.
Rotate your triangle
\(180^{\circ}\)
using the midpoint of the longest side as the center of the rotation.
Label the
corresponding
parts and mark what must be congruent.
Make a conjecture and justify it.
What type of quadrilateral have you formed?
What is the definition of that quadrilateral type?
Why must the quadrilateral you have fit the definition?

Anticipated Misconceptions
If students are struggling to perform the rotation, encourage them to use whatever tools they are most comfortable with, including sketching.
Activity Synthesis
The purpose of this discussion is to share examples of convincing arguments.
Select previously identified students to share in this order:
A student who made a general statement such as “The lines look parallel.”
A student who used the fact that rotation by
\(180^{\circ}\)
using a point not on the line as the center takes lines to parallel lines
A student who used corresponding parts to establish that the lines were parallel because alternate interior angles are congruent
If no student used corresponding parts to establish alternate interior angles as congruent, ask students to look for structure by looking at the congruence marks and seeing whether they match any diagrams on the reference chart.
Speaking: MLR8 Discussion Supports.
Use this routine to support whole-class discussion. As students share their justification for why the opposite sides must be parallel, ask students to restate what they heard using precise mathematical language. Consider providing students time to restate what they hear to a partner before selecting one or two students to share with the class. Ask the original speaker if their peer was accurately able to restate their thinking. Call students’ attention to any words or phrases that helped to clarify the original statement. This provides more students with an opportunity to produce language as they interpret the reasoning of others.
