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: Draw points, lines, line segments, rays, angles (right, acute, obtuse), and perpendicular and parallel lines. Identify these in two-dimensional figures.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to sort triangles into more specific categories. This requires students to attend to an attribute other than the number of sides. As students sort the triangles, monitor for students who sort by the number of equal side lengths or the presence of a right angle (MP7). Although the terms “equilateral,” “isosceles,” and “scalene” are not introduced in this lesson it is fine if students already know them and use them to describe the groups of triangles.
MLR2 Collect and Display.
Direct attention to words collected and displayed from the previous lesson. Invite students to borrow language from the display as needed, and update it throughout the lesson.
Advances: Conversing, Reading
Representation: Access for Perception.
Synthesis: Use gestures during explanation of triangle sorting to emphasize side lengths of triangles.
Supports accessibility for: Visual-Spatial Processing
Required Materials
Materials to Copy
Triangle Cards Grade 3
Required Preparation
Create a set of cards from the blackline master for each group of 2 or 4.
When copying the card sort triangles, use colored paper to distinguish these cards from the cards in the next activity.
Launch
Groups of 2 or 4
Distribute one set of pre-cut cards to each group of students.
“What do you notice about the shapes on the cards?” (The shapes are all triangles. They all look different. Some of them have sides that are the same length.)
1 minute: quiet think time
Activity
“Work with your partner to sort the triangles into categories. Be sure to explain your categories.”
8 minutes: partner work time
Monitor for students that sort the triangles into groups based on:
the number of sides with equal length (all, two, none)
the sides and corners having the same size (the triangles being identical)
the presence of right angles
Student Facing
Sort the triangles into categories. Record your categories and be prepared to explain how you sorted the shapes.

Advancing Student Thinking
If students say they aren’t sure how to sort the shapes because they are all triangles, consider asking:
“What other attributes have you used before to sort shapes?”
“How are some of the triangles different?”
Activity Synthesis
Select groups to share their categories and how they sorted their cards.
Allow as many categories to be presented as time permits, but be sure to highlight categories based on the number of sides with equal length.
Highlight the use of terms like “equal side lengths” and “angles.”
Record and display the attributes students use to categorize the triangles.
