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.

 Grade 3 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8.

Answer: 
No. Completing this task does not involve representing fractions on a number line diagram.

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: Represent data on two quantitative variables on a scatter plot, and describe how the variables are related.
problem_activity: Activity
The mathematical purpose of this activity is for students to gain an understanding of the relationship between a two-way frequency table and a two-way relative frequency table. Students have the same information in a two-way table and a segmented bar graph, then are asked to interpret the information given in context. In some cases, it makes sense to view the raw data in the table, and in other cases, it can make sense to understand the data as percentages of various larger groups. Students examine the meaning of data when they are presented as a percentage of the entire group or either of the 2 subgroups.
Launch
Arrange students in groups of 2.
Help orient students by having them notice:
The sum of all 4 percentages in the second table is 100%.
For each of the next two tables, ask students to find percentages that sum to 100%. (The third table has columns that sum to 100% and the fourth table has rows that sum to 100%.)
Action and Expression: Internalize Executive Functions.
To support development of organizational skills in problem-solving, chunk this task into more manageable parts. For example, instead of presenting tables and graphs all at once, provide 4 different pieces. Ask students to place the table with the actual values at the top of their workspace, and line up the other tables and graphs in a new row below. This allows students to see all of the information while reading and answering the questions without flipping back and forth. Encourage students to move or cover tables to focus on one table at a time.

200 people were asked if they prefer dogs or cats, and whether they live in a rural or urban setting.
The actual values collected from the survey are in the first table.
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"border": "1"}, "thead": [{"tr": [{"th": [{"_attributes": {"scope": "row"}}, {"_attributes": {"scope": "col"}, "_value": "urban"}, {"_attributes": {"scope": "col"}, "_value": "rural"}, {"_attributes": {"scope": "col"}, "_value": "total"}]}]}], "tbody": [{"tr": [{"th": [{"_attributes": {"scope": "row"}, "_value": "cat"}], "td": [{"_value": "54"}, {"_value": "42"}, {"_value": "96"}]}, {"th": [{"_attributes": {"scope": "row"}, "_value": "dog"}], "td": [{"_value": "80"}, {"_value": "24"}, {"_value": "104"}]}, {"th": [{"_attributes": {"scope": "row"}, "_value": "total"}], "td": [{"_value": "134"}, {"_value": "66"}, {"_value": "200"}]}]}]}]}
The next table shows what percentage of the 200 total people included are represented by each combination of categories. The segmented bar graph represents the same information graphically.
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"border": "1"}, "thead": [{"tr": [{"th": [{"_attributes": {"scope": "row"}}, {"_attributes": {"scope": "col"}, "_value": "urban"}, {"_attributes": {"scope": "col"}, "_value": "rural"}]}, {"th": [{"_attributes": {"scope": "row"}, "_value": "cat"}], "td": [{"_value": "27%"}, {"_value": "21%"}]}, {"th": [{"_attributes": {"scope": "row"}, "_value": "dog"}], "td": [{"_value": "40%"}, {"_value": "12%"}]}]}]}]}

The next table shows the percentage of each column that had a certain pet preference in a column relative frequency table. The segmented bar graph represents the same information graphically.
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"border": "1"}, "thead": [{"tr": [{"th": [{"_attributes": {"scope": "row"}}, {"_attributes": {"scope": "col"}, "_value": "urban"}, {"_attributes": {"scope": "col"}, "_value": "rural"}]}, {"th": [{"_attributes": {"scope": "row"}, "_value": "cat"}], "td": [{"_value": "40%"}, {"_value": "64%"}]}, {"th": [{"_attributes": {"scope": "row"}, "_value": "dog"}], "td": [{"_value": "60%"}, {"_value": "36%"}]}]}]}]}
[IMG]
The last table shows the percentage of each row that live in a certain area in a row relative frequency table. The segmented bar graph represents the same information graphically.
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"border": "1"}, "thead": [{"tr": [{"th": [{"_attributes": {"scope": "row"}}, {"_attributes": {"scope": "col"}, "_value": "urban"}, {"_attributes": {"scope": "col"}, "_value": "rural"}]}, {"th": [{"_attributes": {"scope": "row"}, "_value": "cat"}], "td": [{"_value": "56%"}, {"_value": "44%"}]}, {"th": [{"_attributes": {"scope": "row"}, "_value": "dog"}], "td": [{"_value": "77%"}, {"_value": "23%"}]}]}]}]}
[IMG]
For each relative frequency table, select a percentage and explain how numbers from the original table were used to get the percentage.
What percentage of those surveyed live in an urban area and prefer dogs?
Among the people surveyed who prefer dogs, what percentage of them live in an urban setting?
What percentage of people surveyed who live in an urban setting prefer dogs?
How many of the people responded that they prefer dogs and live in an urban setting?
Among the people surveyed, are there more people who prefer dogs or cats?
Your pet food company has access to a billboard in a rural setting. Would you recommend advertising dog food or cat food on this billboard? Which table did you use to make this decision? Explain your reasoning.

Anticipated Misconceptions
Students may not understand the difference between what each relative frequency table represents. You can have a whole-class discussion about the data presented before students begin the task. You can also individually ask students questions concerning how the different representations relate to one another. For example: ”Which percentage in the relative frequency table corresponds to a specific portion of the bar graph?” Ensure students understand that each table uses a different total to get the percentages. Ask them, “Which tables are the questions referring to when it says, ‘Among the people surveyed’?”
Activity Synthesis
The purpose of this discussion is to make sure students understand how to interpret information in a relative frequency table and to prime student thinking about associations between categorical variables.
After selecting a student to share a response, select another student to share which table or graph can be used to answer the question, then select a third student to explain the connection between the question and the table or graph.
Ask students:
“What information can be understood from each type of relative frequency table?” (The first table can explain how each combination of categories fits into the whole group. The second table divides the entire group by their location and shows the pet preference in those locations. The third table divides the entire group by pet preference and shows the location of people for each pet preference.)
“Do you notice any interesting patterns in the data? Explain your reasoning.” (It is okay if students struggle with this question at this time. The focus of the next lesson is on associations between categorical variables. Students may notice that dog lovers tend to live in urban settings, since 77% of dog lovers are urban.)
Speaking: MLR8 Discussion Supports.
Use this routine to support whole-class discussion. As students share their ideas, press for details by requesting students to challenge an idea, elaborate on an idea, or give an example. Revoice student responses to demonstrate mathematical language use by applying appropriate language. For instance, revoice the statement: “The percentage of people living in a rural setting who love cats,” as “The percentage of cat lovers who are rural.” Call students’ attention to any words or phrases that helped clarify the original statement. If needed, practice phrases or words through choral response. This provides more students with an opportunity to produce language as they share their ideas about data represented in relative frequency tables.
