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.

K
standard_description: Apply the properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions. For example, apply the distributive property to the expression 3 (2 + x) to produce the equivalent expression 6 + 3x; apply the distributive property to the expression 24x + 18y to produce the equivalent expression 6 (4x + 3y); apply properties of operations to y + y + y to produce the equivalent expression 3y.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to subtract in a way that makes sense to them. Students use a method of their choice and share their methods with one another. This can serve as a formative assessment of how students approach finding the value of a difference when a ten must be decomposed when subtracting by place. Although students may use many methods to subtract, including those based on counting or compensation, the synthesis focuses on connecting these methods to those based on place value where a ten is decomposed.
Monitor and select students with the following methods to share in the synthesis:
Uses connecting cubes to make 82 and removes 9 blocks. Counts back or counts all to find the difference.
Subtracts 2 from 82 to get to a ten, 80, and then subtracts 7 from 80 by counting back (with or without blocks).
Uses base-ten blocks to show 82 and decomposes a ten to get 12 ones. Subtracts 9 ones from 12 ones and counts the remaining blocks.
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Base-ten blocks
Connecting cubes
Launch
Groups of 2
Give students access to connecting cubes and base-ten blocks.
Activity
“Find the difference for
\(82 - 9\)
.”
“Show your thinking using drawings, numbers, or words.”
“Be prepared to share your thinking.”
As student work, consider asking:
“What did you do first? Why?”
“What did you take away first? Why?”
“How did you show 82 at first? Did you have to make any changes to take away 9? Explain.”
“What tool did you use? Why?”
Student Facing
Find the value of
\(82 - 9\)
.
Show your thinking. Use blocks if it helps.

Activity Synthesis
Ask selected students to share in the given order.
“Why did _____ need to change 82 to 7 tens and 12 ones to subtract ones from ones?” (There are too many ones to take away, so she traded a ten for 10 ones to show decomposing a ten.)
