Concept/skill: 
Solve addition and subtraction word problems, and add and subtract within 10, e.g., by using objects or drawings to represent the problem.

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.


Answer: 
No. Though this task involves addition, it does not involve any word problems.

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

K
standard_description: Interpret and compute quotients of fractions, and solve word problems involving division of fractions by fractions, e.g., by using visual fraction models and equations to represent the problem. For example, create a story context for (2/3) ÷ (3/4) and use a visual fraction model to show the quotient; use the relationship between multiplication and division to explain that (2/3) ÷ (3/4) = 8/9 because 3/4 of 8/9 is 2/3. (In general, (a/b) ÷ (c/d) = ad/bc.) How much chocolate will each person get if 3 people share 1/2 lb of chocolate equally? How many 3/4-cup servings are in 2/3 of a cup of yogurt? How wide is a rectangular strip of land with length 3/4 mi and area 1/2 square mi?
problem_activity: Warm-up
Students reflect on equivalent expressions that represent the area of a shaded rectangle which is part of a larger rectangle of unknown width.
Launch
Allow students 2 minutes of quiet work time, followed by a whole-class discussion.
Student Facing
A rectangle with dimensions 6 cm and
\(w\)
cm is partitioned into two smaller rectangles.
Explain why each of these expressions represents the area, in cm
2
, of the shaded region.
\(6w-24\)
\(6(w-4)\)

Activity Synthesis
Ask students to share their reasoning.
\(6w-24\)
should be straighforward: the area of the entire rectangle is
\(6w\)
, and the area of the unshaded portion is
\(6 \boldcdot 4\)
or 24, so the area of the shaded portion is
\(6w-24\)
.
Students may have more trouble with
\(6(w-4)\)
. The key is to understand that the longer side of the shaded portion can be represented by
\(w-4\)
.
