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 multiply multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.

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: 
Yes. This set of problems involves multi-digit whole numbers because the numbers in each problem are four and two digit integers, and the mathematical calculations involved in both problems focus on multiplication. The first problem explicitly asks the student to solve its subproblems using the standard algorithm.

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 to provide further practice relating the different forms of decimals. This includes expanded form, word form, and decimal form. Using the balance and weight of gold nuggets as a context, students go back and forth between different ways of representing these weights (MP2). The synthesis highlights the meaning of the digits in a decimal and how that relates to the expanded form of the decimal.
Launch
Display the image.
“What decimal can I write for the weight of the gold nugget?” (0.124)
Write equation:
\(0.124 = \left(1 \times 0.1\right) + \left(2 \times 0.01\right) + \left(4 \times 0.001\right)\)
“How does the balance show the expanded form of 0.124?” (There is 1 tenth of an ounce weight, 2 hundredth of an ounce weights, and 4 thousandth of an ounce weights.)
Activity
8–10 minutes: independent work time
Monitor for students who see, in the first problem, that the digits in the decimal for the gold weights are the same as the number of weights for that decimal place value.

Weights are used to balance some gold nuggets. Write the weight of each gold nugget in expanded form.
three 0.1 ounce weights, five 0.01 ounce weights, and eight 0.001 ounce weights
six 0.1 ounce weights and two 0.001 ounce weights
two 0.01 ounce weights and six 0.1 ounce weights
Here are the weights of some gold nuggets in word form. Write the weights in expanded form.
two hundred eighty three thousandths of an ounce
four hundred nine thousandths of an ounce
A gold nugget weighs 0.527 ounces.
What is the value of each of the digits in the decimal 0.527?
How does the expanded form of 0.527 show the value of each digit in the decimal?

Activity Synthesis
Invite students to share the expanded form of the decimal 0.527.
Display the expression:
\(\left(5 \times 0.1 \right) +\left(2 \times 0.01\right) +\left( 7 \times 0.001\right)\)
“What is the value of the 5 in 0.527?” (5 tenths)
“How does the expanded form show this?” (It shows the 5 is
\(5 \times 0.1\)
or 5 tenths.)
“What is the value of the 7 in 0.527?” (7 thousandths)
“How does the expanded form show this?” (It shows the 7 is
\(7 \times 0.001\)
or 7 thousandths.)
“How is going from word form to expanded form different than going from decimal form to expanded form?” (The decimal form shows the place values. With the word form, everything is given in terms of thousandths, so I need to figure out what the individual place values of the number are.)
