few_shots: 
Example 1:
Concept/skill: 
Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings (Drawings need not show details, but should show the mathematics in the problem. (This applies wherever drawings are mentioned in the Standards.)), sounds (e.g., claps), acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations.

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: 
Yes. This task involves representing addition with objects such as number cards and dice.

Example 2:
Concept/skill: 
Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division and of fractions to multiply and divide rational numbers.

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: 
Yes. This problem involves understanding fractions and division to divide rational numbers, such as 1, -4, 4, and -1. This problem also involves an understanding of multiplication: if p and q are integers, then -(p/q) = (-p)/q = p/(-q).

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.

Now, assess whether the following problem or activity is 'aligned' with the given Common Core standard in Mathematics.

problem_activity: Task
Below is a table of diameters of different denominations of United States
Coins:
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["centered", "narrow"]}, "tbody": [{"tr": [{"th": [{"_value": "Denomination"}, {"_value": "Diameter"}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "Dime"}, {"_value": "$17.9$ mm"}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "Nickel"}, {"_value": "$21.2$ mm"}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "Quarter"}, {"_value": "$24.3$ mm"}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "Half Dollar"}, {"_value": "$30.6$ mm"}]}]}]}]}
If we place nickels around a central dime, as in the picture below, there is room
for five nickels with extra space but not enough room for a sixth nickel:
[IMG]
How many dimes fit around a central dime?  What about around a
central nickel, quarter, or half dollar?  Do the dimes fit snugly or is there
extra space?
How many half dollars fit around a central dime?  What about around
a central nickel, quarter, or half dollar?  Do the half dollars fit snugly or
is there extra room?
Extending the work in (a) and (b) above, for positive numbers $r$ and $s$
how many circles of radius $s$ will fit around a central circle of radius $r$?
