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 add and subtract multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to whole numbers less than or equal to 1,000,000.

Answer: 
No. This set of problems does not directly involve adding or subtracting multi-digit whole numbers. Instead, it focuses on multiplying multi-digit whole numbers.

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

standard_description: Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities. For example, “The ratio of wings to beaks in the bird house at the zoo was 2:1, because for every 2 wings there was 1 beak.” “For every vote candidate A received, candidate C received nearly three votes.”
problem_activity: Optional activity
This activity gives students more practice writing an equation that represents the proportional relationship examined in a previous lesson: the amount of flour and honey in a recipe. Students can then use their equation to answer additional questions about the situation.
Launch
Tell students that this activity revisits a context from an earlier lesson. Give students quiet work time followed by partner discussion.
Reading: MLR6 Three Reads.
Use this routine to support reading comprehension of the baking situation, without solving it for students. In the first read, students read the prompt with the goal of comprehending the situation (e.g., there is always the same ratio of honey to flour; different days have different numbers of batches). Delay asking students to complete the table. In the second read, ask students to analyze the prompts to understand the mathematical structure by naming quantities. Listen for, and amplify, the two important quantities that vary in relation to each other in this situation:
f
is the number of cups of flour;
h
is the number of tablespoons of honey. After the third read, ask students to brainstorm possible strategies to determine the amount of flour needed if you know how much honey will be used.
Design Principle(s): Support sense-making
Student Facing
A bakery uses 8 tablespoons of honey for every 10 cups of flour to make bread dough. Some days they bake bigger batches and some days they bake smaller batches, but they always use the same ratio of honey to flour.
Complete the table.
If
\(f\)
is the cups of flour needed for
\(h\)
tablespoons of honey, write an equation that relates
\(f\)
and
\(h\)
.
How much flour is needed for 15 tablespoons of honey? 17 tablespoons? Explain or show your reasoning.
| honey (tbsp) | flour (c) |
|--------------|-----------|
|      1       |           |
|      8       |    10     |
|      16      |           |
|      20      |           |
|    \(h\)     |           |

Activity Synthesis
Ask students to compare answers with their partner and discuss their reasoning until they reach an agreement.
Then, invite students to share how they used their equation from question 2 to answer question 3 with the whole class.
