Example:
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.

standard_description: Use place value understanding to round multi-digit whole numbers to any place.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to whole numbers less than or equal to 1,000,000.
problem_activity: Narrative
This optional activity gives students another opportunity to practice identifying multiples of some powers of 10 that border a given number and identify the nearest ones. As before, students may use number lines to support their reasoning, but here the number lines are unlabeled.
Launch
Groups of 2
Activity
“Work independently for a few minutes. Then, discuss your responses with your partner.”
5 minutes: independent work time
2 minutes: partner discussion
Student Facing
Answer each question. Label and use the number lines if they are helpful.

Activity Synthesis
Invite students to share their responses and reasoning.
“Which nearest multiples were you able to identify fairly easily?”
“Which were a bit more challenging, if any? Why might that be?”
