few_shots: 
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: 
Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a fraction or whole number by a fraction.

Problem/activity:
For each pair of numbers, determine if the values are equivalent. Explain your reasoning for each one.
a.
$$-0.25$$
and
$$\frac{1}{-4}$$
b.
$$-\left ( \frac{1}{4} \right )$$
and
$$\frac{-1}{-4}$$
c.
$$\frac{-1}{4}$$
and
$$-\frac{1}{4}$$


Answer: 
No. The expressions shown in this problem do not involve multiplying fractions with other fractions, nor whole numbers with fractions.

Example 3:
Concept/skill: 
Understand that by similarity, side ratios in right triangles are properties of the angles in the triangle, leading to definitions of trigonometric ratios for acute angles.

Problem/activity:
Find the general solution for:
$${\mathrm{cos}\left({\pi\over2}+x\right)=\mathrm{tan}{\pi\over4}}$$


Answer: 
No. This problem does not directly teach how side ratios in right triangles lead to definitions of trigonometric ratios. Instead, it involves solving a trigonometric function.

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

standard_description: For exponential models, express as a logarithm the solution to ab^(ct) = d where a, c, and d are numbers and the base b is 2, 10, or e; evaluate the logarithm using technology.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to use what they know about counting within 1,000 to make sense of number lines that show counting on or counting back by 10 or 100. This work helps build fluency with counting within 1,000 and connects to an upcoming lesson where students add and subtract multiples of 10 or 100 using equations.
MLR8 Discussion Supports.
Invite students to begin partner interactions by repeating the question, “What pattern do you notice?” This gives both students an opportunity to produce language.
Advances: Conversing
Launch
Groups of 2
Display the number line with jumps of 100.
“On this number line there are 5 tick marks, but only 3 are labeled. What are the missing numbers and how do you know?” (534 and 634 because the jumps are the same length and they must be jumps of 100. The hundreds place is increasing by 1, but the other places are not changing.)
30 seconds: quiet think time
30 seconds: partner discussion
Share and record responses.
“You recognized that the length between each tick mark must represent 100. The tick marks and arrows show counting on by 100 on the number line.”
Activity
“For each of the problems, use what you know about counting, representing numbers on the number line, and place value to find the missing numbers.”
10 minutes: partner work time
Monitor for a student to share their reasoning for _____, _____, 332, 342, 352

Advancing Student Thinking
If students find the missing numbers by counting by 1 instead of using patterns increasing by 10 or 100, consider asking:
“What digit is changing? Is it going up or down?”
“How can that help you figure out the count?”
Activity Synthesis
Invite a student to share their reasoning for _____, _____, 332, 342, 352.
“How did you figure out the starting number?” (I saw that it was going up by 10, so I knew I had to count back by 10 to find the starting numbers.)
Record responses with an open number line and equations.
