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: Understand that attributes belonging to a category of two-dimensional figures also belong to all subcategories of that category. For example, all rectangles have four right angles and squares are rectangles, so all squares have four right angles.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to transition from reasoning about division concretely or visually (using base-ten diagrams) to doing so more abstractly (by writing equations). It also reinforces the connections between multiplication and division.
Students make sense of three different strategies of dividing 78 by 3 and attend to the connections between the visual and numerical representations of the same quotient. As they do so, they practice reasoning quantitatively and abstractly (MP2).
During the synthesis, discuss how place value units play a role in all three strategies.
MLR8 Discussion Supports.
Synthesis: Display Lin, Priya, and Tyler’s strategies. As students share their observations, annotate the display to illustrate connections. For example, annotate where students see the divisor, dividend, and quotient on each diagram.

Groups of 2
“Take a couple minutes to make sense of Lin, Priya, and Tyler’s work.”
2 minutes: quiet think time
Activity
“Work with your partner to make sense of Lin, Priya, and Tyler’s work and to complete the activity.”
7–8 minutes: partner work time
Monitor for students who:
make connections between the equations and the base-ten diagram
recognize how Tyler’s equations and reasoning are different from Priya’s equations
Identify students who can explain these connections or distinctions to share during the synthesis.

Activity Synthesis
Invite students to share how Lin, Priya, and Tyler’s work are alike and how they are different.
Select previously identified students to share additional connections that they noticed.
“Why does it make sense that Priya and Tyler wrote multiplication equations to find the value of a quotient?” (Multiplication and division can represent the same equal-groups situation. To divide 78 by 3 is to find how many are in each of 3 groups or how many groups of 3 there are. We can multiply up to 78 to find the answer.)
Consider asking: “What new ideas about dividing numbers did you learn and would like to try? Talk to a new partner about why you’d like to try them.”
