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 polynomial identities and use them to describe numerical relationships. For example, the polynomial identity (x^(2) + y^(2))^(2) = (x^(2 )– y^(2))^(2) + (2xy)^(2 )can be used to generate Pythagorean triples.
problem_activity: Task
A physics professor says: "Of course, it is easy to see that
$$ L_0 \sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2}} = 0 $$
when $v = c$."
Give a possible explanation in terms of the structure of the expression on the left why the professor might say that.
Assuming that $L_0$ and $c$ are positive, what is the greatest possible value of the expression on the left?  Explain your answer in terms of the structure of the expression.
