Example 1:
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.

Example 2:
Concept/skill: 
Explain equivalence of fractions in special cases, and compare fractions by reasoning about their size.
 Grade 3 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8.

Problem/activity:
Task
 Arrange the fractions in order from least to greatest. Explain your answer with a picture.
 $\frac{1}{5}, \frac{1}{7}, \frac{1}{3} $
 $\frac{2}{5}, \frac{2}{7}, \frac{2}{3} $
 $\frac{5}{6}, \frac{3}{6}, \frac{1}{6} $
 $\frac{5}{12}, \frac{8}{12}, \frac{4}{12} $

Answer: 
Yes. By arranging the fractions in this problem, students learn to compare fractions by reasoning about their size.

Example 3:
Concept/skill: 
Fluently add and subtract multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to whole numbers less than or equal to 1,000,000.

Problem/activity:
Problem 1
Solve using the standard algorithm. If you get stuck, use an area model and/or the partial products algorithm to help. Then assess the reasonableness of your answer.
a.
$$5,803\times46$$
b.
$$63\times2,116$$
Problem 2
Dunkin' introduced a croissant doughnut in 2014. In the first three months of its debut, they sold 7,870 dozen of them per day. How many croissant doughnuts were sold in the first three months?


Answer: 
No. This set of problems does not directly involve adding or subtracting multi-digit whole numbers. Instead, it focuses on multiplying multi-digit whole numbers.

Now, determine whether the following problem or activity can enable students to understand the concepts or skills in the provided description.

standard_description: Use geometric shapes, their measures, and their properties to describe objects (e.g., modeling a tree trunk or a human torso as a cylinder).
problem_activity: Task
Global Positioning System or GPS devices receive input from satellites and use
this information to locate our position on the planet.   The information received from
each individual satellite gives the distance from the GPS  device to that satellite and the location of the satellite.  The set of points at a fixed distance from a satellite form
a sphere so when the GPS receives its distance from a given satellite, this tells
us that it lies on a particular sphere.  Data from several satellites will
locate the GPS device on the intersection of spheres.  This problem examines different scenarios for intersections of spheres from the point of view of the GPS device: how many
different satellites are needed to locate the GPS device?  Does it matter how
the satellites are configured in space?
Below is a sample picture showing three satellites and their distances, $d_1, d_2, d_3$ from a point on the earth:
[IMG]
The three parts of this problem investigate different positions of the three
satellites pictured above: the goal is to find scenarios where one, two or three of the distances
$d_1$, $d_2$, $d_3$ are (or are not) sufficient to locate the GPS unit.
Give an example of a satellite and GPS location so that the GPS device can determine its location on the earth with input
from this single satellite.  Also give an example when this one signal does not provide
enough information  to designate a location on the earth.
Give  an example of a configuration of two satellites  and the GPS so that the GPS device can determine its location on the earth with input
from the two satellites (but not from either alone).   Also give an example where these two signals do not provide
enough information  to designate a location on the earth.
Give  an example of a configuration of three satellites and the GPS so that  the GPS device can determine its location on the earth with input
from three satellites (but not from any pair of the satellites).   Also give an example where three signals do not provide
enough information  to designate a location on the earth.
