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: Observe using graphs and tables that a quantity increasing exponentially eventually exceeds a quantity increasing linearly, quadratically, or (more generally) as a polynomial function.
problem_activity: A Ferris wheel is 50 meters in diameter and rotates once every three minutes. The center axle of the Ferris wheel is 30 meters from the ground.
a. Using the axes below, sketch a graph to show how the height of a passenger will vary with time. Assume that when the wheel starts rotating when the passenger is at the bottom.

b. A mathematical model for this motion is given by the formula
$${h=a+b\mathrm{cos}ct}$$
where
$$h$$
= the height of the car in meters
$$t$$
= the time that has elapsed in minutes
$${a, b, c}$$
are constants
Find values for
$$a$$
,
$$b$$
, and
$$c$$
that will model this situation.
