Concept/skill: 
Use addition and subtraction within 100 to solve one- and two-step word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.

 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.

Answer: 
No. This activity does not involve addition or subtraction, or unknowns in different positions of equations or drawings.

Now, determine whether the following problem or activity can enable students to understand the concepts or skills in the provided description.

standard_description: Prove theorems about lines and angles. Theorems include: vertical angles are congruent; when a transversal crosses parallel lines, alternate interior angles are congruent and corresponding angles are congruent; points on a perpendicular bisector of a line segment are exactly those equidistant from the segment’s endpoints.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to represent addition and subtraction equations on a number line. Students consider where to begin and in which direction to draw their arrows in order to accurately represent the operation in the given equation. Throughout the activity, encourage students to explain how they know their representation matches the equation. Listen for the way they explain how they know where to start and end their arrow, which direction they draw their arrow, and how they connect the length the jump represents to the equation (MP3).

“We have seen addition and subtraction equations represented on a number line. How can you tell whether a number line is representing addition or subtraction?” (Look at the direction of the arrow.)

Share responses.
Activity
“Now you are going to represent some equations on number lines. Be sure others will be able to tell from looking at your number line whether you are representing addition or subtraction.”
8 minutes: independent work time
Monitor for students who:
Mark the first number and last number in each equation with a point first. Then draw their arrow to match the operation.
Locate the first number in the equation, count a number of spaces forward or backward to match the operation, and draw an arrow to connect the two numbers.
“Compare your number lines with your partner. Explain how you know your representation matches the equation.”

Advancing Student Thinking
If a student's number line representation doesn't match the equation, consider asking:
“Will you please explain your representation?”
“How did you decide where to start or end on the number line?”
“How did you decide which direction to draw your arrow?”
Activity Synthesis
Display the equation and blank number line for
\(15 + 7 = 22\)
.
Invite previously selected students to share how they represented the equation on the number line.
Consider asking:
“How do you see each number in the equation in ____’s representation?”
“How do you know ___’s representation matches the operation (addition or subtraction)?”
As time permits, continue with the other equations.
