Concept/skill: 
Solve addition and subtraction word problems, and add and subtract within 10, e.g., by using objects or drawings to represent the problem.

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: 
No. Though this task involves addition, it does not involve any word problems.

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

standard_description: Recognize and represent proportional relationships between quantities.
problem_activity: Activity
In this activity, students apply what they have learned previously about surface area and volume to different situations (MP4). Students have to consider whether they are finding the surface area or volume before answering each question. In addition, students apply proportional reasoning to find the cost of the vinyl that is needed. This is an opportunity for students to revisit this prior understanding in a geometry context.
As students work on the task, monitor for students who are using different methods to decompose or compose the base of the object to calculate the area.
Launch
Arrange students in groups of 2. Make sure students are familiar with the terms “foam” and “vinyl.” For example, it may help to explain that many binders are made out of cardboard covered with vinyl. In the diagram, all measurements have been rounded to the nearest inch.
Give students 3–5 minutes of quiet work time followed by time to share their answers with a partner. Follow with a whole-class discussion.
Representation: Internalize Comprehension.
Activate or supply background knowledge by reviewing an image or video of a foam play structure. Allow students to use calculators to ensure inclusive participation in the activity.

Student Facing
At a daycare, Kiran sees children climbing on this foam play structure.
[IMG]
Kiran is thinking about building a structure like this for his younger cousins to play on.
The entire structure is made out of soft foam so the children don’t hurt themselves. How much foam would Kiran need to build this play structure?
The entire structure is covered with vinyl so it is easy to wipe clean. How much vinyl would Kiran need to build this play structure?
The foam costs 0.8¢ per in

. Here is a table that lists the costs for different amounts of vinyl. What is the total cost for all the foam and vinyl needed to build this play structure?
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"border": "1"}, "thead": [{"tr": [{"th": [{"_attributes": {"scope": "col"}, "sup": [{"_value": "2"}], "_values": ["vinyl (in", ")"]}, {"_attributes": {"scope": "col"}, "_value": "cost ($)"}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "75"}, {"_value": "0.45"}]}]}], "tbody": [{"tr": [{"td": [{"_value": "125"}, {"_value": "0.75"}]}]}]}]}

Are you ready for more?
When he examines the play structure more closely, Kiran realizes it is really two separate pieces that are next to each other.

How does this affect the amount of foam in the play structure?
How does this affect the amount of vinyl covering the play structure?

Anticipated Misconceptions
For the first question, students may try to figure out the total mass of foam needed instead of the total volume. Point out that they are not given any information about how much the foam weighs and prompt them to look for a different way of answering the question “how much foam?”
Some students might see the 0.8¢ for the unit price and confuse that with
$
0.80. Remind students of their work with fractional percentages in a previous unit and that 0.8¢ must be less than 1¢.
Activity Synthesis
Select previously identified students to share how they calculated the area of the base.
Consider asking some of the following questions:
“Are there other ways to calculate the area of the base?”
“How did you know if you had to calculate surface area or volume for this problem?”
“If Kiran buys a big block of foam that is 36 inches wide, 20 inches deep, and 10 inches tall and cuts it into this shape, what shapes would he be cutting off?” (A rectangular prism for the step on the left side and a triangular prism for the slide part on the right.)
“How much more would the big block of foam cost than your calculations?” (This method wastes a volume of
\(36 \boldcdot 20 \boldcdot 10 - 4,\!960 = 2,\!240\)
cubic inches of foam. This would be an extra
$
17.92 since
\(2,\!240 \boldcdot 0.008 = 17.92\)
.)
If Kiran decides not to cover the bottom of the structure with vinyl, how much would he save?” (This reduces the area of vinyl needed by another
\(36\boldcdot 20 = 720\)
square inches. This would save
$
4.32 since
\(720 \boldcdot 0.006 = 4.32\)
.)
Conversing, Listening: MLR7 Compare and Connect.
Use this routine when students share their strategies for calculating the volume of the play structure. Ask students to consider what is the same and what is different about each approach. In this discussion, listen for and amplify comments that refer to the way the figure was decomposed. Draw students’ attention to the various ways area and perimeter of the base were found and how these were represented in each strategy. These exchanges can strengthen students’ mathematical language use and reasoning based on volume and surface area.
