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 addition and subtraction within 100 to solve word problems involving lengths that are given in the same units, e.g., by using drawings (such as drawings of rulers) and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to order three objects by length. Students line up objects from shortest to longest and longest to shortest. Students need to attend to the language in the question to know which way to order the objects. The language and reasoning students use in this activity helps prepare them to compare the length of objects indirectly in future lessons.
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Materials from a previous activity
Required Preparation
Each group of 4 needs the collection of objects from the previous activity.
Launch
Groups of 4
Give each group 10–12 objects.
Activity
Read the task statement.
5 minutes: small-group work
Monitor for students who line up the endpoints of the objects.
Student Facing
Pick 3 objects.
With your partner, put the objects in order from
shortest
to longest.
Trace or draw your objects.
Pick 3 new objects.
With your partner, put them in order from
longest to shortest
.
Write the names of the objects in order from longest to shortest.

Advancing Student Thinking
If students appear to order their objects correctly without lining them up, consider asking:
“How did you order your objects from ___ (shortest to longest or longest to shortest)?”
“How could you prove to someone that your objects are ordered correctly?”
Activity Synthesis
Invite previously identified students to demonstrate how they ordered three objects from shortest to longest.
Display the three objects with the endpoints lined up so all students can see.
“What statements can you make to compare the length of their objects?” (The ___ is longer than the ___ and ___.)
As time permits, repeat by inviting a previously identified students to demonstrate how they ordered three objects from longest to shortest.
