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: Solve systems of linear equations exactly and approximately (e.g., with graphs), focusing on pairs of linear equations in two variables.
problem_activity: Task
A government buys $x$ fighter planes at $z$ dollars each,
and $y$ tons of wheat at $w$ dollars each. It spends a total of $B$
dollars, where $B = xz + yw$. In (a)–(c), write an
equation whose solution is the given quantity.
The number of tons of wheat the government can afford to buy if it
spends a total of \$100 million, wheat costs  \$300 per ton, and it must
buy 5 fighter planes at \$15 million each.
The price of fighter planes if the government bought 3 of them, in addition to $10,\!000$ tons of wheat at \$500 a ton, for a total of \$50 million.
The price of a ton of wheat, given that a fighter plane costs $100,\!000$ times as much as a ton of wheat, and that the government bought 20 fighter planes
and $15,\!000$ tons of wheat for a total cost of
\$90 million.
