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 to multiply a fraction or whole number by a fraction.

Answer: 
No. The expressions shown in this problem do not involve multiplying fractions with other fractions, nor whole numbers with fractions.

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: Multiply a vector by a scalar.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to use a method of their choice, likely multiplication or division, to solve a contextual problem about equal sharing of the longest noodle ever made. The numbers in this activity are larger than the numbers students have worked with in previous lessons on division. Students estimate the number of feet of noodle each person ate at the record breaking event. The numbers and context were chosen to encourage students to consider what they know about the meaning of division, to make a reasonable estimate, and to reason about the meaning of the quotient in the context of the situation presented (MP2).
Monitor and select students with the following strategies to share in the synthesis:
Students use multiplication or division to estimate that each person will get about 25 feet of noodle.
Students can explain why 25 feet of noodle for each person is a low estimate.
Launch
“What kind of noodles do you like to eat?” (ramen, spaghetti, fettucini, chicken noodle soup)
30 seconds: partner discussion
“About how long is one of the noodles you like to eat?” (about 1 foot long)
Groups of 2
Activity
5 minutes: independent work time
5 minutes: partner discussion
As students work, consider asking “What do the numbers in your calculations mean, in terms of the situation?”
Student Facing
A Chinese food company cooked a single noodle measuring about 10,119 ft. It served 400 people.
If the noodle was shared equally, estimate how many feet of noodle each person was served.
Is your estimate lower or higher than the actual length of noodle each person ate? Explain your reasoning without calculating the actual length.

Activity Synthesis
Ask selected students to share in the given order (or use the provided student solutions if needed).
“How are the methods for estimating the amount of noodle each person gets the same?”(They both start by giving each person 10 feet of noodle. Then they give more until they have both given 25 feet to each person. They both find multiples of 400.)
“How are they different?” (One thinks of the process as division and one uses just multiplication.)
“How do you know the estimate of 25 feet is too low?” (Because there was still some of the noodle left. There are 119 feet left over.)
