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: 
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.

problem_activity: Activity
This activity continues the work of using a balanced hanger to develop strategies for solving equations. Students are presented with balanced hangers and are asked to write equations that represent them. They are then asked to explain how to use the diagrams, and then the equations, to reason about a solution. Students notice the structure of equations and diagrams and find correspondences between them and between solution strategies.
Launch
Draw students’ attention to the diagrams in the task statement. Ensure they notice that the hangers are balanced and that each object is labeled with its weight. Some weights are labeled with numbers but some are unknown, so they are labeled with a variable.
Keep students in the same groups. Give 5–10 minutes of quiet work time and time to share their responses with a partner, followed by a whole-class discussion.
Student Facing
Here are some balanced hangers where each piece is labeled with its weight. For each diagram:
Write an equation.
Explain how to figure out the weight of a piece labeled with a letter by reasoning about the diagram.

Activity Synthesis
Invite students to demonstrate, side by side, how they reasoned with both the diagram and the equation. For example, diagram A can be shown next to the equation
\(7=3x+1\)
. Cross out a piece representing 1 from each side, and write
\(7-1=3x+1-1\)
, followed by
\(6=3x\)
. Encircle 3 equal groups on each side, and write
\(6 \div 3 = 3x \div 3\)
, followed by
\(2=x\)
. Repeat for as many diagrams as time allows. If diagrams A and B did not present much of a challenge for students, spend most of the time on diagrams C and D.
We want students to walk away with two things:
An instant recognition of the structure of equations of the form
\(px+q=r\)
where
\(p\)
,
\(q\)
, and
\(r\)
are specific, given numbers.
A visual representation in their minds that can be used to support understanding of why for equations of this type, you can subtract
\(q\)
from each side and then divide each side by
\(p\)
to find the solution.
Representation: Develop Language and Symbols.
Create a display of important terms and vocabulary. Include the following terms and maintain the display for reference throughout the unit: hanger diagram. For example, display an example of a balanced hanger. With class participation, create step-by-step instructions on how to write and solve an equation based on the hanger.
Supports accessibility for: Memory; Language
Representing, Speaking: MLR8 Discussion Supports.
To invite participation in the whole-class discussion, use sentence frames to support students’ explanations for how they found the weights by reasoning about the hangers and equations. For example, provide the frame “First, I ___ because . . .”, “Then I ___ because . . . ." Be sure to verbalize and amplify mathematical language in the students’ explanations (e.g., “subtracting the constant”, and “dividing by the coefficient”). This will help students explain their reasoning with the diagram and the equation.
