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: Describe qualitatively the functional relationship between two quantities by analyzing a graph (e.g., where the function is increasing or decreasing, linear or nonlinear). Sketch a graph that exhibits the qualitative features of a function that has been described verbally.
problem_activity: Warm-up
This prompt gives students opportunities to see and make use of structure (MP7). The specific structures they might notice is the table and how it relates to a linear relationship between
\(x\)
and
\(y\)
(specifically, that
\(y = 3x + 6\)
).
Monitor for students who:
describe patterns only vertically or only in terms of
\(x\)
or
\(y\)
(e.g., “it” or “
\(y\)
” goes up by 3, “it” starts at 6)
describe
\(y\)
in terms of
\(x\)
describe a relationship between
\(x\)
and
\(y\)
, such as
\(y\)
goes up 3 every time
\(x\)
goes up 1
notice the linear relationship
attempt to identify the missing value in the table
Launch
Tell students that their job is to think of at least one thing they notice and at least one thing they wonder. Display the table for all to see. Give students 1 minute of quiet think time and then 1 minute to discuss the things they notice with their partner, followed by a whole-class discussion.
Student Facing
What do you notice? What do you wonder?
| \(x\) | \(y\) |
|-------|-------|
|   0   |   6   |
|   1   |   9   |
|   2   |  12   |
|   4   |  18   |
|  10   |  36   |
|  100  |       |

Activity Synthesis
Ask students to share the things they noticed and wondered. Record and display their responses for all to see. If possible, record the relevant reasoning on or near the image. After all responses have been recorded without commentary or editing, ask students, “Is there anything on this list that you are wondering about?” Encourage students to respectfully disagree, ask for clarification, or point out contradicting information. If the relationship between the table and an equation does not come up during the conversation, ask students to discuss how they can come up with the missing value. It is not necessary to generate an equation like
\(y=3x+6\)
at this time.
