few_shots: 
Example 1:
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.

Example 2:
Concept/skill: 
Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a fraction or whole number by a fraction.

Problem/activity:
For each pair of numbers, determine if the values are equivalent. Explain your reasoning for each one.
a.
$$-0.25$$
and
$$\frac{1}{-4}$$
b.
$$-\left ( \frac{1}{4} \right )$$
and
$$\frac{-1}{-4}$$
c.
$$\frac{-1}{4}$$
and
$$-\frac{1}{4}$$


Answer: 
No. The expressions shown in this problem do not involve multiplying fractions with other fractions, nor whole numbers with fractions.

Example 3:
Concept/skill: 
Prove the addition and subtraction formulas for sine, cosine, and tangent and use them to solve problems.

Problem/activity:
Find the general solution for:
$${\mathrm{cos}\left({\pi\over2}+x\right)=\mathrm{tan}{\pi\over4}}$$


Answer: 
Yes. An initial step when solving for x in this problem requires the use of the addition formula for cosine on the left side of the equation.

standard_description: Recognize that in a multi-digit number, a digit in one place represents 10 times as much as it represents in the place to its right and 1/10 of what it represents in the place to its left.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to identify two-digit numbers or a part of a number represented in different ways, with different amounts of tens and ones. Students determine how many connecting cubes are in each bag, given clues about how many tens and ones are in the bag. Students also determine how many tens or ones are in a bag, given the total number of cubes and either the number of tens or ones. Students may use connecting cubes to make sense of the problems, and show their thinking using drawings, numbers, or words.
MLR8 Discussion Supports.
During partner work, invite students to take turns sharing their responses. Ask students to restate what they heard using precise mathematical language and their own words. Display the sentence frame: “I heard you say . . . .” Original speakers can agree or clarify for their partner.
Advances: Listening, Speaking
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Connecting cubes in towers of 10 and singles
Launch
Groups of 4
Give students access to connecting cubes in towers of 10 and singles.
Activity
“You are going to solve problems about connecting cubes in mystery bags. You can use connecting cubes if they will help you. Show your thinking using drawings, numbers, or words.”
“You will begin by working on your own. Then you will share your thinking with a partner at your table.”
6 minutes: independent work time
“Share your thinking for problem 1 with a partner at your table.”
1 minute: partner discussion
“Share your thinking for problem 2 with a different partner at your table.”
1 minute: partner discussion
Repeat for problems 3 and 4.
Monitor for students who use connecting cubes in these ways to solve for mystery bag C:
Shows 49 as 4 tens 9 ones and moves 2 tens over to the ones cubes to have 29, shows 2 tens left.
Shows 29 ones, adds towers of 10 to get to 49.
Student Facing
Bag A has 2 ones and 5 tens.
How many cubes are in Bag A?
Show your thinking using drawings, numbers, or words.
Bag B has 4 tens and 25 ones.
How many cubes are in Bag B?
Show your thinking using drawings, numbers, or words.
Bag C has 49 cubes.
If there are 29 ones, how many tens are in the bag?
Show your thinking using drawings, numbers, or words.
Bag D has 36 cubes.
If there are only 2 tens, how many ones are in the bag?
Show your thinking using drawings, numbers, or words.
If you have time: Write a mystery bag problem about tens and ones.
Switch with your partner.
Solve.

Advancing Student Thinking
If students show they are adding the total number of cubes and the known tens or ones for Bag C or Bag D, consider asking:
“How could you act out this problem?”
“What do you know? What don’t you know?”
“How could you use what we’ve learned about making numbers with different amounts of tens and ones to solve the problem?”
Activity Synthesis
Invite previously identified students to share.
“How are these ways for finding the mystery number of tens the same? How are they different?” (They both used tens and ones. One person started with 29 ones and added the tens, the other person started with 4 tens 9 ones and broke apart tens until there were 29 ones.)
