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:
Task
 Arrange the fractions in order from least to greatest. Explain your answer with a picture.
 $\frac{1}{5}, \frac{1}{7}, \frac{1}{3} $
 $\frac{2}{5}, \frac{2}{7}, \frac{2}{3} $
 $\frac{5}{6}, \frac{3}{6}, \frac{1}{6} $
 $\frac{5}{12}, \frac{8}{12}, \frac{4}{12} $

Description: 
Explain equivalence of fractions in special cases, and compare fractions by reasoning about their size.
 Grade 3 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8.

Answer: 
Yes. By arranging the fractions in this problem, students learn to compare fractions by reasoning about their size.

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.

problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to revisit stage 3 of the Shake and Spill center, introduced in kindergarten. In this stage, students see a quantity broken into two parts in different ways. Student write equations to represent each decomposition. Students may write an equation in any way they choose, but the number of counters is presented first to encourage students to write the total before the equal sign. This activity builds toward a future lesson in which students solve Put Together/Take Apart, Addend Unknown story problems and write equations to match them.
During this activity, the teacher collects and displays different equations that students write for the first round. This includes equations where the total is before the equal sign, such as
\(9 = 7 + 2\)
. During the synthesis, students are encouraged to think about how an equation with the total before the equal sign relates back to the context of playing the game (MP2).
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Cups
Two-color counters
Materials to Copy
Shake and Spill Stage 3 Recording Sheet Grade 1
Required Preparation
Each group of 2 needs 10 two-color counters and a cup (at least 8 oz).
Launch
Groups of 2
Give each group a cup, 10 two-color counters, and recording sheets.
"Today we will revisit a game you played in kindergarten called Shake and Spill. Let's play one round together to make sure everyone remembers how to play."
Display two-color counters and the cup.
“I have some two-color counters. Let’s count them together.”
Place counters in the cup as you count aloud.
“I’m going to write 6 under Total Number of Counters."
Demonstrate shaking and spilling the counters.
"How many red counters are there? How many yellow counters are there?”
30 seconds: quiet think time
Record responses in the table.
“What equation can we write to match the counters?” (
\(4 + 2 = 6\)
,
\(6 = 4 + 2\)
,
\(2 + 4 = 6, 6 = 2 + 4\)
)
30 seconds: quiet think time
30 seconds: partner discussion
Share and record responses.
If needed, play another round.
Activity
“Play the game with your partner. For the first game, you will use 9 counters and record in your book. After the first game, you may choose the number of counters that you want to use, and record on the separate recording sheet.”
10 minutes: partner work time
If needed, ask “Is there another equation you can write to show this round?”
Monitor for and collect 5–6 combinations and equations from round 1.

Activity Synthesis
Display collected combinations and equations.
“What do you notice about the equations I collected during the first round?” (There are different numbers in the equations. They all equal nine. Sometimes the total is before the equation and sometimes it is after.)
“What does the equation
\(9 = 7 + 2\)
mean?” (The nine counter total is the same amount as seven red counters and two yellow counters or seven yellow and two red.)
