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: 
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 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.

standard_description: Measure and estimate liquid volumes and masses of objects using standard units of grams (g), kilograms (kg), and liters (l). (Excludes compound units such as cm^(3) and finding the geometric volume of a container.) Add, subtract, multiply, or divide to solve one-step word problems involving masses or volumes that are given in the same units, e.g., by using drawings (such as a beaker with a measurement scale) to represent the problem. [Excludes multiplicative comparison problems (problems involving notions of “times as much”)]
problem_activity: Narrative
In this activity, students identify right triangles. They also explain why certain given shapes are not right triangles. As they determine whether a triangle is a right triangle, students may use the corner of an index card or a piece of paper, use a protractor, or trace an angle in a triangle to compare with an angle elsewhere that they know to be a right angle. In doing so, students practice choosing tools strategically (MP5).
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Index cards
Patty paper
Protractors
Launch
Groups of 2
Provide access to index cards, patty paper, and protractors.
Activity
5 minutes: independent work time
2 minutes: partner discussion
Monitor for students who use tools to check angles and those who estimate them visually. Ask the latter: “How might we check that the angles that look like right angles are
\(90^\circ\)
?”
Student Facing
Identify all shapes that are right triangles. For each right triangle, mark the right angle with a small square.
[IMG]
Explain why the other shapes are not right triangles.

Advancing Student Thinking
Students may not identify triangles C or D because of the orientation.
Consider asking:
“How can we show that a triangle has a right angle?”
“Where else do you see triangles that may have perpendicular sides?”
“What tools could you use to see if each triangle has any right angles?”
Activity Synthesis
Invite students to share their responses and how they found the right triangles in the set.
“Were there any triangles that appeared to be right triangles but are not, or don’t appear to be right triangles but are?” (Triangle H looks like one but isn’t.)
