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: Understand that a set of data collected to answer a statistical question has a distribution which can be described by its center, spread, and overall shape.
problem_activity: Warm-up
The purpose of this warm-up is to encourage students to connect the ideas they learned earlier about statistical questions and types of data (categorical and numerical) to the work on describing distributions (center and spread).
There are many ways to interpret the questions and identify how each one is unique. For example, they could say that Question A is about retirement, Question B about jobs, etc. If students begin to depart from thinking in statistical terms, remind them to think about how we might go about answering the questions and what the answers might involve.
Launch
Arrange students in groups of 2–4. Display the questions for all to see. Give students 1 minute of quiet think time and ask students to indicate when they have noticed one question that does not belong and can explain why. When the minute is up, give students 2 minutes to share with their group their reasoning on why a question doesn't belong, and then, together, find at least one reason each question doesn't belong.
Student Facing
Here are four questions about the population of Alaska. Which question does not belong? Be prepared to explain your reasoning.
In general, at what age do Alaska residents retire?
At what age can Alaskans vote?
What is the age difference between the youngest and oldest Alaska residents with a full-time job?
Which age group is the largest part of the population: 18 years or younger, 19–25 years, 25–34 years, 35–44 years, 45–54 years, 55–64 years, or 65 years or older?

Activity Synthesis
Ask each group to share one reason why a particular question does not belong. Record and display the responses for all to see. After each response, ask the class if they agree or disagree. Since there is no single correct answer for why a question does not belong, attend to students’ explanations and ensure the reasons given are correct.
If students use terms that are essential in this unit (such as center, spread, statistical, non-statistical, numerical data, categorical data, etc.), ask them to explain their meanings in their own words; these are opportunities to reinforce their understanding of the terms and to note any misconceptions. If students give unsubstantiated claims, ask them to substantiate them.
