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: 
Explain equivalence of fractions in special cases, and compare fractions by reasoning about their size.
 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: 
Yes. By arranging the fractions in this problem, students learn to compare fractions by reasoning about their size.

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.

problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to facilitate the Estimation Exploration they created in the previous activity for another group in the class. Each group should be paired with another group and they will take turns facilitating their Estimation Exploration for the other group. If time allows, students could facilitate their Estimation Exploration with more than 1 group.
MLR8 Discussion Supports.
At the appropriate time, give students 2–3 minutes to make sure that everyone in their group can explain their Estimation Exploration activity. Invite groups to rehearse what they will say when they share with the whole class.
Advances: Speaking, Conversing, Representing
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Chart paper
Colored pencils, crayons, or markers
Launch
Groups of 3 or 4
Give each group a piece of chart paper and a marker to record responses.
“Pair up with another group in the class. Each group will present their Estimation Exploration.”
Activity
10–12 minutes: small-group work time
Remind students to switch roles halfway through the time allowed.
Student Facing
Display your image for your classmates.
Ask them, “What is an estimate that’s too high?” “Too low?” “About right?”
Give them a minute of quiet think time.
Give them a minute to discuss together.
Have them share estimates.
Record their ideas.

Activity Synthesis
“What did you learn as you presented your Estimation Exploration?” (I learned that ranges of estimates might be bigger than you expect. I learned that it’s important to understand the size of the items you are trying to estimate or be familiar with it, otherwise you cannot make good estimates.)
