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: Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to cardinality.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to count their collection in a way that makes sense to them and notice that the number of objects stays the same when a collection is counted multiple times (MP8). Students are provided with 10-frames and counting mats to help them organize their collections. Students use appropriate tools strategically as they choose which tools help them count their collections (MP5).
MLR8 Discussion Supports
. Display and read aloud the following sentence frames to support small-group discussion: “I agree because _____.” and “I disagree because _____.” Invite students to chorally repeat this sentence in unison 1–2 times.
Advances: Speaking, Conversing, Representing
Representation: Internalize Comprehension.
Synthesis: Use multiple examples and non-examples to emphasize the importance of counting every object one time. Demonstrate to students the non-example of counting one object twice in a collection.

Launch
Groups of 2
Give each student a collection of objects and access to 10-frames and a counting mat.
“How many objects are in your collection?”
Activity
3 minutes: independent work time
“Tell your partner how many objects are in your collection.”
30 seconds: partner discussion
“Switch collections with your partner. Do you agree with your partner about how many objects are in the collection?”

Advancing Student Thinking
If students count each object more than once or do not count some of the objects, consider asking:
“How many objects do you have? How do you know?”
Display the counting mat or the 10-frame and ask “How can you use this mat to help you make sure that you count each object?”
Activity Synthesis
“Show your partner how you counted and tell your partner how many objects are in your new collection. Did you and your partner count the collection the same way? Did you agree about how many objects are in the collection?”
“We might count the objects differently than our partner, but we should get the same number if we count every object one time.”
