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.

standard_description: Read and write numbers to 1000 using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to learn stage 2 of the Mystery Number center. Students pick 3 cards and make a mystery three-digit number. Students give clues based on the sentence starters and their partner tries to guess their number. Students should remove cards that show 10 from their deck. When they give clues and guess the number, students demonstrate understanding of the base-ten system, both the  meaning of each digit in a number and the order of the numbers (MP7).
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Number cards 0–10
Materials to Copy
Mystery Number Stage 2 Directions
Launch
Groups of 2
Give each group a set of number cards and directions.
“We are going to learn a new center called Mystery Number that you might have played in first grade. You will pick 3 cards and make a mystery three-digit number. Then you will give your partner clues and they will try to guess your mystery number.”
“Read the directions with your partner to see if you have any questions.”
Answer any questions or play a round against the class to demonstrate the center.
Activity
15 minutes: partner work time
Monitor for clues to share during the synthesis.
Activity Synthesis
“What types of clues were particularly helpful to you when you were trying to guess your partner’s number?”
