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: Relate counting to addition and subtraction (e.g., by counting on 2 to add 2).
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this Number Talk is to elicit strategies and understandings students have about the relationship between addition and subtraction. Each addition and subtraction equation represents the same part-whole relationship. These understandings help students develop fluency and will be helpful later in this lesson when students solve missing addend problems.

Student Facing
Find the missing value mentally.
\(4 + \boxed{\phantom{1}} = 5\)
\(5 - \boxed{\phantom{1}} = 4\)
\(6 + \boxed{\phantom{2}} = 8\)
\(8 - \boxed{\phantom{2}} = 6\)

Activity Synthesis
“How can finding the missing value in the first equation help you with the second equation?" (I know that 1 more than 4 is 5, so I also know that 1 less than 5 is 4.)
