Concept/skill: 
Use addition and subtraction within 100 to solve one- and two-step word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.

 Narrative
 The first partner spins to get a group of coins. They write a question that compares the amount they spun to a different group of coins that they make up.

Answer: 
No. This activity does not involve addition or subtraction, or unknowns in different positions of equations or drawings.

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

standard_description: Construct the inscribed and circumscribed circles of a triangle, and prove properties of angles for a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle.
problem_activity: Warm-up
This warm-up helps students recall the use of the Pythagorean Theorem and right triangle trigonometry. They’ll use these concepts in subsequent activities.
Launch
Provide students with access to scientific calculators.
Student Facing
Calculate the height of each solid. Round your answers to the nearest tenth if needed.

Anticipated Misconceptions
The height is not drawn in on the cylinder, so students may not be able to visualize the right triangle involved in the problem. Encourage them to draw in the height and think back to other problems from prior units involving angles and degree measurements.
Students may be uncertain how to round the first answer. Remind them that 16.0 is considered a “rounded” answer because the additional decimal digits to the right have been dropped.
Activity Synthesis
Ask students what strategies they used, and how they chose those strategies. Invite them to explain why they can use the Pythagorean Theorem for the cone problem but not the cylinder problem. Remind students that they can use their reference chart to recall the trigonometric ratio definitions.
