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

K
standard_description: Describe qualitatively the functional relationship between two quantities by analyzing a graph (e.g., where the function is increasing or decreasing, linear or nonlinear). Sketch a graph that exhibits the qualitative features of a function that has been described verbally.
problem_activity: Activity
If students also use technology to create the tables, they are using appropriate tools strategically (MP5).
Launch
Provide access to graphing technology. Students may need some assistance adjusting their graphing window to see the relevant features of each graph. Either help them set the window before they start to a domain of
\(\text-2 \le x \le 8\)
and range of
\(\text-60 \le y \le 600\)
, or wait until they have attempted to graph at least one function and remind them of what they have learned about changing the graphing window.
Student Facing
Each function represents the amount in a bank account after
\(t\)
weeks.
\(A(t) = 500\)
\(B(t) = 500 + 40t\)
\(C(t) = 500 - 40t\)
\(D(t) = 500 \boldcdot (1.5)^t\)
\(E(t) = 500 \boldcdot (0.75)^t\)
Make a table for each bank account showing the money in the account at 0, 1, 2, and 3 weeks.
Describe in words how the money in the account is changing week by week.
Use technology to create a graph of each function. How can you see your description in each graph?

Activity Synthesis
Focus the discussion on the connection between the equations, descriptions and graphs. Discuss questions such as:
“What do all functions have in common?” (The vertical intercept is 500, each bank account starts with $500)
“How does the money change each week? How do we see this change in the graph?"
“How are
\(B\)
and
\(C\)
the same and different?” (They are the same because they are each linear, and each start with
$
500 and change by
$
40 per week. They are different because B increases and C decreases (or the rate of change is positive versus negative.)
“How are
\(D\)
and
\(E\)
the same and different?” (They are the same because they are each exponential, and each start with
$
500. They are different because
\(D\)
increases and
\(E\)
decreases (or the growth factor is greater than 1 versus less than 1.))
