Example:
Concept/skill: 
Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings (Drawings need not show details, but should show the mathematics in the problem. (This applies wherever drawings are mentioned in the Standards.)), sounds (e.g., claps), acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations.

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: 
Yes. This task involves representing addition with objects such as number cards and dice.

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

standard_description: Tell and write time from analog and digital clocks to the nearest five minutes, using a.m. and p.m.
problem_activity: Ellen and Mundi each want to write a pattern that is 10 numbers long.
Ellen writes 0 as her first number and adds 2 each time to get her next number.
Mundi writes 0 as his first number and adds 6 each time to get his next number.

a.   Complete Ellen and Mundi’s patterns.
b.   How many times greater is Mundi’s fourth number than Ellen’s fourth number?  What about the seventh numbers? The tenth numbers?
c.   What pattern do you notice in Part (b)?  Why do you think that pattern exists?
