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: 
Understand a fraction as a number on the number line; represent fractions on a number line diagram.
 Grade 3 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8.

Problem/activity:
Task
 Arrange the fractions in order from least to greatest. Explain your answer with a picture.
 $\frac{1}{5}, \frac{1}{7}, \frac{1}{3} $
 $\frac{2}{5}, \frac{2}{7}, \frac{2}{3} $
 $\frac{5}{6}, \frac{3}{6}, \frac{1}{6} $
 $\frac{5}{12}, \frac{8}{12}, \frac{4}{12} $

Answer: 
No. Completing this task does not involve representing fractions on a number line diagram.

Example 3:
Concept/skill: 
Fluently add and subtract multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to whole numbers less than or equal to 1,000,000.

Problem/activity:
Problem 1
Solve using the standard algorithm. If you get stuck, use an area model and/or the partial products algorithm to help. Then assess the reasonableness of your answer.
a.
$$5,803\times46$$
b.
$$63\times2,116$$
Problem 2
Dunkin' introduced a croissant doughnut in 2014. In the first three months of its debut, they sold 7,870 dozen of them per day. How many croissant doughnuts were sold in the first three months?


Answer: 
No. This set of problems does not directly involve adding or subtracting multi-digit whole numbers. Instead, it focuses on multiplying multi-digit whole numbers.

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

standard_description: Compare two fractions with different numerators and different denominators, e.g., by creating common denominators or numerators, or by comparing to a benchmark fraction such as 1/2. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two fractions refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual fraction model.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 100.
problem_activity: Narrative
In this activity, students reason about the relative size of decimals by locating them on a number line. As in a previous activity, they rely on their experience of locating fractions on a number line and the relationship of the decimal values relative to 0 and 1.
If desired and logistically feasible, consider carrying out the activity on a giant number line rather than on paper.
Stretch a long strip of tape across a wall, at least 8 or 10 feet long. Partition the tape into 12 equal intervals, using shorter pieces of tape as tick marks. Label the locations of 0 and 1.
Give each group of students 2–3 dot stickers, 4–5 sticky notes, and a thick marker.
Ask each group to write (on sticky notes) labels for two of the tick marks, with one sticky note for each label.
Assign each group one or two of the eight decimals in the second problem. Ask them to locate their assigned decimals on the number line, using dot stickers to mark the location and sticky notes to label them.
Action and Expression: Internalize Executive Functions.
Synthesis: Invite students to plan a strategy, including the tools they will use, for the first two steps of the activity. If time allows, invite students to share their plan with a partner before they begin.
Supports accessibility for: Organization, Social-Emotional Functioning
Launch
Groups of 3–4
Activity
If creating a giant number line, lead the activity as outlined in the Activity Narrative. Otherwise, ask students to work with their group on the first two problems.
Pause and discuss:
how students knew where to put each decimal
how the number line could help us see the least and greatest
“Take a few quiet minutes to complete the rest of the activity.”
5–6 minutes: independent work time
Student Facing
Label each tick mark on the number line with the number it represents.

Here are eight numbers.
0.10
0.40
0.80
1.10
0.15
0.45
0.75
1.05
Locate and label each number on the number line.
Which number is greatest? Which is least? Explain how the number line can help determine the greatest and least numbers.
Locate and label these numbers on the number line.
0.24
0.96
0.61
1.12

Use two numbers from the previous questions to complete each comparison statement so that it is true.
________ is greater than _______.
________ is less than _______.
________ is the greatest number.

Advancing Student Thinking
Students may be unsure whether to label the tick marks between 0 and 1 in terms of tenths or hundredths, or whether to use fraction or decimal notation. Consider asking: “What labels might be helpful for locating the decimals in the activity?”
Activity Synthesis
Select students to display their completed number lines (showing the locations of five additional decimals).
Invite the class to agree or disagree with the locations of the point and discuss any disagreements.
Select other students to share their comparison statements and how they know each statement is true.
