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, assess whether the following problem or activity is 'aligned' with the given Common Core standard in Mathematics.

standard_description: Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems, e.g., by reasoning about tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams, double number line diagrams, or equations.
problem_activity: Warm-up
This warm-up reminds students of previous work with tape diagrams and encourages a different way to reason with them. Students are given only a tape diagram and are asked to generate a concrete context to go with the representation.
Students’ stories should have the following components:
the same unit for both quantities in the ratio
a ratio of
\(7:3\)
scaling by 3, or 3 units per part
They may also have a quantity of 30 that represents the sum of the two quantities in the ratio.
As students work, identify a few different students whose stories are clearly described and are consistent with the diagram so that they can share later.
Launch
Ask students to share a few things they remember about tape diagrams from the previous lesson. Students may recall that:
We draw one tape for every quantity in the ratio. Each tape has parts that are the same size.
We draw as many parts as the numbers in the ratio show (e.g., a
\(2:3\)
ratio: we draw 2 parts in a tape and 3 parts in another tape).
Each part represents the same value.
Tape diagrams can be used to think about a ratio of parts and the total amount.
Tell students their job is to come up with a valid situation to match a given tape diagram. Give students some quiet thinking time, and then time to share their response with a partner.
Student Facing
Describe a situation with two quantities that this tape diagram could represent.

Anticipated Misconceptions
Students may misunderstand the meaning of the phrase “with two quantities” and simply come up with a situation involving ten identical groups of three. Point out that the phrase means that the row of seven groups of three should represent something different than the row of three groups of three.
Students may also come up with a situation involving different units, for example, quantity purchased and cost, or distance traveled and time elapsed. Remind them that the parts of tape are meant to represent the same value, so we need a situation that uses the same units for both parts of the ratio.
Activity Synthesis
Invite a few students to share their stories with the class. As they share, consider recording key details about each story for all students to see. Then, ask students to notice similarities in the different scenarios.
Guide students to see that they all involve the same units for both quantities of the ratio, a ratio of 7 to 3, and either 3 units per part or scaling by 3. They may also involve an amount of 30 units, representing the sum of the two quantities.
