 Narrative
 The first partner spins to get a group of coins. They write a question that compares the amount they spun to a different group of coins that they make up.

Description: 
Solve word problems involving dollar bills, quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies, using $ and ¬¢ symbols appropriately. Example: If you have 2 dimes and 3 pennies, how many cents do you have?

Answer: 
Yes. In this activity, students write word problems that compare coin amounts.

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

problem_activity: Problem 1
Explain how you know the expressions in Column A are equivalent to the expressions in Column B.
| **           Column A          ** | **           Column B          ** |
|-----------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
|           $${-3(x+4)}$$           |           $${-3x-12}$$            |
|           $${(4+x)+3}$$           |           $${x+(4+3)}$$           |
|           $${(x+4)-3}$$           |          $${-3+(x+4)}$$           |
Problem 2
Explain the properties of operations that were used to transform
$${a(x-y)}$$
to the equivalent expression,
$${-(ay-ax)}$$
.
Problem 3
If the expression
$${\frac{x}{2} + \frac{3}{4}}$$
is multiplied by
$$4$$
, the expression
$${{2x+3}}$$
results.
Is
$${{2x+3}}$$
an equivalent expression to
$${\frac{x}{2} + \frac{3}{4}}$$
?
