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: Express the length of an object as a whole number of length units, by laying multiple copies of a shorter object (the length unit) end to end; understand that the length measurement of an object is the number of same-size length units that span it with no gaps or overlaps. Limit to contexts where the object being measured is spanned by a whole number of length units with no gaps or overlaps.
problem_activity: Warm-up
This warm-up reminds students of previous work with tape diagrams and encourages a different way to reason with them. Students are given only a tape diagram and are asked to generate a concrete context to go with the representation.
Students’ stories should have the following components:
the same unit for both quantities in the ratio
a ratio of
\(7:3\)
scaling by 3, or 3 units per part
They may also have a quantity of 30 that represents the sum of the two quantities in the ratio.
As students work, identify a few different students whose stories are clearly described and are consistent with the diagram so that they can share later.
Launch
Ask students to share a few things they remember about tape diagrams from the previous lesson. Students may recall that:
We draw one tape for every quantity in the ratio. Each tape has parts that are the same size.
We draw as many parts as the numbers in the ratio show (e.g., a
\(2:3\)
ratio: we draw 2 parts in a tape and 3 parts in another tape).
Each part represents the same value.
Tape diagrams can be used to think about a ratio of parts and the total amount.
Tell students their job is to come up with a valid situation to match a given tape diagram. Give students some quiet thinking time, and then time to share their response with a partner.
Student Facing
Describe a situation with two quantities that this tape diagram could represent.

Anticipated Misconceptions
Students may misunderstand the meaning of the phrase “with two quantities” and simply come up with a situation involving ten identical groups of three. Point out that the phrase means that the row of seven groups of three should represent something different than the row of three groups of three.
Students may also come up with a situation involving different units, for example, quantity purchased and cost, or distance traveled and time elapsed. Remind them that the parts of tape are meant to represent the same value, so we need a situation that uses the same units for both parts of the ratio.
Activity Synthesis
Invite a few students to share their stories with the class. As they share, consider recording key details about each story for all students to see. Then, ask students to notice similarities in the different scenarios.
Guide students to see that they all involve the same units for both quantities of the ratio, a ratio of 7 to 3, and either 3 units per part or scaling by 3. They may also involve an amount of 30 units, representing the sum of the two quantities.
