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: 
Understand that by similarity, side ratios in right triangles are properties of the angles in the triangle, leading to definitions of trigonometric ratios for acute angles.

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


Answer: 
No. This problem does not directly teach how side ratios in right triangles lead to definitions of trigonometric ratios. Instead, it involves solving a trigonometric function.

standard_description: Know the formulas for the area and circumference of a circle and use them to solve problems; give an informal derivation of the relationship between the circumference and area of a circle.
problem_activity: Activity
The purpose of this activity is to relate the process for
building
a triangle given 3 side lengths (using cardboard strips and metal fasteners) to the process for
drawing
a triangle given 3 side lengths (using a compass). Students use the cardboard strips as an informal compass for drawing all the possible locations where the given segments could end. They are reminded of their work with circles in a previous unit: that a circle is the set of all the points that are equally distant from a center point and that a compass is a useful tool, not just for drawing circles, but also for transferring lengths in general. This prepares them for using a compass to draw triangles in future lessons.
In this activity, students also consider what their drawing would look like if the two shorter sides were too short to make a triangle with the third given side length.
Left-handed students may find it easier to start with drawing the 3-inch circle on the left side of the 4-inch segment.

We'll explore a method for drawing a triangle that has three specific side lengths.  Use the applet to answer the questions.
Follow these instructions to mark the possible endpoints of one side:
For now, ignore segment
\(AC\)
, the 3-inch side length on the left side
[IMG]
Let segment
\(BD\)
be the 3-unit side length on the right side.  Right-click on point
\(D\)
, check Trace On.  Rotate the point, drawing all the places where a 3-inch side could end.
What shape have you drawn while moving
\(BD\)
around?  Why?  Which tool in your geometry toolkit can do something similiar?
Use your drawing to create two unique triangles, each with a base of length 4 inches and a side of length 3 inches.  Use a different color to draw each triangle.
Repeat the previous instructions, letting segment
\(AC\)
be the 3-unit side length.
Using a third color, draw a point where the two traces intersect. Using this third color, draw a triangle with side lengths of 4 inches, 3 inches, and 3 inches.

Arrange students in groups of 2. Distribute one copy of the blackline master to each group. Make sure each group has one complete set of strips and fasteners from the previous activity. Provide access to geometry toolkits and compasses.
Tell students to take one 4-inch piece and two 3-inch pieces and connect them so that the 4-inch piece is in between the 3-inch pieces as seen in the image. If necessary, display the image for all to see. Students should not connect the 3-inch pieces to each other.

We’ll explore a method for drawing a triangle that has three specific side lengths. Your teacher will give you a piece of paper showing a 4-inch segment as well as some instructions for which strips to use and how to connect them.
Follow these instructions to mark the possible endpoints of one side:
Put your 4-inch strip directly on top of the 4-inch segment on the piece of paper. Hold it in place.
For now, ignore the 3-inch strip on the left side. Rotate it so that it is out of the way.
In the 3-inch strip on the
right
side, put the tip of your pencil in the hole on the end that is not connected to anything. Use the pencil to move the strip around its hinge, drawing all the places where a 3-inch side could end.
Remove the connected strips from your paper.
What shape have you drawn while moving the 3-inch strip around? Why? Which tool in your geometry toolkit can do something similar?
Use your drawing to create two unique triangles, each with a base of length 4 inches and a side of length 3 inches. Use a different color to draw each triangle.
Reposition the strips on the paper so that the 4-inch strip is on top of the 4-inch segment again. In the 3-inch strip on the
left
side, put the tip of your pencil in the hole on the end that is not connected to anything. Use the pencil to move the strip around its hinge, drawing all the places where another 3-inch side could end.
Using a third color, draw a point where the two marks intersect. Using this third color, draw a triangle with side lengths of 4 inches, 3 inches, and 3 inches.

Activity Synthesis
Display a 4-inch strip connected to two 3-inch strips, positioned parallel to each other as pictured in the Launch. To help students connect the process of building with cardboard strips to drawing on paper, ask questions like:
“If you want to
build
a triangle with these side lengths, how do you know at what angle to position the cardboard strips?” (Turn the sides until their unattached endpoints are touching.)
“If you want to
draw
a triangle with these side length, how can you know at what angle to draw the sides?” (Find the point where both circles intersect.)
“We have seen with the cardboard strips that an unknown angle works like a hinge. How is that represented in your drawing?” (with a circle centered on the endpoint of one segment and a radius the length of the other segment)
Select students to share their drawings with the class. To reinforce the patterns that students noticed in the previous activity, consider asking questions like these:
“How many different triangles could we draw when we had only traced a circle on one side? Why?” (Lots of different triangles, because we were only using two of the given side lengths.)
“What is the longest the third side could have been? And the shortest?” (Less the 7 inches; More than 1 inch)
“How many different triangles could we draw once we had traced a circle on each side?” (It looked like there were 2 different triangles, but they are identical copies, so there’s really only 1 unique triangle.)
Speaking, Listening, Representing: MLR7 Compare and Connect.
Use this routine to help students compare their processes for building and drawing their triangles. Ask students “What is the same and what is different?” about the approaches. Draw students' attention to the connections between building and drawing such as: opening the hinge between the cardboard strips and drawing the circle using the compass. These exchanges strengthen students' language use and reasoning from concrete to representational approaches.
