 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: 
Yes. In this activity, students write word problems that compare coin amounts.

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

standard_description: Understand a rational number as a point on the number line. Extend number line diagrams and coordinate axes familiar from previous grades to represent points on the line and in the plane with negative number coordinates.
problem_activity: Problem 1
Consider the equation
$${ {|x|=5}}$$
.
This can be thought of as a system of equations, where
$${f(x)=\left | x \right |}$$
$${{g(x)}=5}$$
and
$${f(x)={g(x)}}$$
Graph
$${f(x) }$$
and
$${g(x)}$$
in the coordinate plane. Based on the graph, what are the solutions to
$${|x|=5}$$
?
Problem 2
For each absolute value equation below, answer the questions that follow.
$${|x|=-4}$$
$${ |x|=0}$$
$${ |x|=4}$$
How many solutions are there for
$$x$$
in each equation?
Thinking of each equation as two equal functions (similar to Anchor Problem #1), what does each one look like in the coordinate plane? Where do you see the solution(s)?
Problem 3
Solve each absolute value equation algebraically and verify the solution graphically.
$${|x+2|=8}$$
$${|x|+2=8}$$
$${|x+2|+1=0}$$


aligns: no
