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.

K
standard_description: Interpret multiplication as scaling (resizing), by:
- Explaining why multiplying a given number by a fraction greater than 1 results in a product greater than the given number (recognizing multiplication by whole numbers greater than 1 as a familiar case); explaining why multiplying a given number by a fraction less than 1 results in a product smaller than the given number; and relating the principle of fraction equivalence a/b = (n×a)/(n×b) to the effect of multiplying a/b by 1.
- Comparing the size of a product to the size of one factor on the basis of the size of the other factor, without performing the indicated multiplication.
problem_activity: Activity
Students use a realistic food recipe to find equivalent ratios that represent different numbers of batches. Students use the original recipe to form ratios of ingredients that represent double, half, five times, and one-fifth of the recipe. Then they examine given ratios of ingredients and determine how many batches they represent.
Launch
Ask students if they have ever cooked something by following a recipe. If so, ask them what they made and what some of the ingredients were.
Ask: “How might we use ratios to describe the ingredients in your recipe?” (The ratios could associate the quantities of each ingredient being used.)
Explain to students that in this task, they will think about the ratios of ingredients for a tuna casserole and how to adjust them for making different numbers of batches.
Action and Expression: Internalize Executive Functions.
To support development of organizational skills in problem solving, chunk this task into more manageable parts. For example, provide students with a task checklist which makes all the required components of the activity explicit.
Supports accessibility for: Memory; Organization
Listening: MLR8 Discussion Supports
. When asking the question, “How might we use ratios to describe the ingredients in your recipe?”, act out or use images that demonstrate the meaning of the terms "ratio", "recipe", and "ingredients" in the context of cooking. Demonstrate combining specific ingredients in their stated ratios. This will help students connect the language found in a recipe with the ratio reasoning needed for different batches of that recipe.

Student Facing
Here is a recipe for tuna casserole.
Ingredients
3 cups cooked elbow-shaped pasta
6 ounce can tuna, drained
10 ounce can cream of chicken soup
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
\(1 \frac12\)
cups French fried onions
[IMG]
Instructions
Combine the pasta, tuna, soup, and half of the cheese. Transfer into a 9 inch by 18 inch baking dish. Put the remaining cheese on top. Bake 30 minutes at 350 degrees. During the last 5 minutes, add the French fried onions. Let sit for 10 minutes before serving.
What is the ratio of the ounces of soup to the cups of shredded cheese to the cups of pasta in one batch of casserole?
How much of each of these 3 ingredients would be needed to make:
twice the amount of casserole?
half the amount of casserole?
five times the amount of casserole?
one-fifth the amount of casserole?
What is the ratio of cups of pasta to ounces of tuna in one batch of casserole?
How many batches of casserole would you make if you used the following amounts of ingredients?
9 cups of pasta and 18 ounces of tuna?
36 ounces of tuna and 18 cups of pasta?
1 cup of pasta and 2 ounces of tuna?

The recipe says to use a 9 inch by 18 inch baking dish. Determine the length and width of a baking dish with the same height that could hold:
Twice the amount of casserole
Half the amount of casserole
Five times the amount of casserole
One-fifth the amount of casserole

Anticipated Misconceptions
Students who are not yet fluent in fraction multiplication from grade 5 may have difficulty understanding how to find half or one-fifth of the recipe ingredient amounts. Likewise, they may have difficulty identifying one-third of a batch. Suggest that they draw a picture of
\(\frac12\)
of 10, remind them that finding
\(\frac12\)
of a number is the same as dividing it by 2, or remind them that
\(\frac12\)
of a number means
\(\frac12\)
times that number.
Activity Synthesis
Display the recipe for all to see. Ask students to share and explain their responses. List their responses—along with the specified number of batches—for all to see. Ask students to analyze the list and describe how the ratio of quantities relate to the number of batches in each case. Draw out the idea that each quantity within the recipe was
multiplied
by a number to obtain each batch size, and that each ingredient amount is multiplied by the
same
value.
In finding one-half and one-fifth of a batch, students may speak in terms of dividing by 2 and dividing by 5. Point out that “dividing by 2” has the same outcome as “multiplying by one-half,” and “dividing by 5” has the same outcome as “multiplying by one-fifth.” (Students multiplied a whole number by a fraction in grade 5.) Later, we will want to state our general definition of equivalent ratios as simply as possible: as
multiplying
both
\(a\)
and
\(b\)
in the ratio
\(a:b\)
by the same number (not “multiplying or dividing”).
