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.

problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to learn stage 3 of the Shake and Spill center. Students practice counting to find the total of 2 groups of objects and representing addition with an expression.
After they participate in the center, students choose from any stage of previously introduced centers.

Shake and Spill Stage 3 Recording Sheet Kindergarten
Required Preparation
Each group of 2 needs 10 two-color counters.
Each group of 2 needs access to a yellow crayon and a red crayon.
Gather materials from:
Number Race, Stage 1
Math Stories, Stages 1 and 2
Launch
Groups of 2
Give each group of students two-color counters and red and yellow crayons. Give each student a recording sheet.
“We are going to learn a new way to play Shake and Spill. One partner will choose some counters, shake them, and spill them. Then draw a picture to show the red and yellow counters. Work together to figure out how to fill in an expression to show how many red and yellow counters. Take turns shaking and spilling the counters.”
Activity
8 minutes: partner work time
“Now you can choose another center. You can also continue playing Shake and Spill.”
Display the center choices in the student book.
Invite students to work at the center of their choice.
10 minutes: center work time
If time, invite students to choose another center.
