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: 
Prove the addition and subtraction formulas for sine, cosine, and tangent and use them to solve problems.

Problem/activity:
Find the general solution for:
$${\mathrm{cos}\left({\pi\over2}+x\right)=\mathrm{tan}{\pi\over4}}$$


Answer: 
Yes. An initial step when solving for x in this problem requires the use of the addition formula for cosine on the left side of the equation.

standard_description: Count to answer “how many?” questions about as many as 20 things arranged in a line, a rectangular array, or a circle, or as many as 10 things in a scattered configuration; given a number from 1–20, count out that many objects.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to count their collection in a way that makes sense to them and notice that the number of objects stays the same when a collection is counted multiple times (MP8). Students are provided with 10-frames and counting mats to help them organize their collections. Students use appropriate tools strategically as they choose which tools help them count their collections (MP5).
MLR8 Discussion Supports
. Display and read aloud the following sentence frames to support small-group discussion: “I agree because _____.” and “I disagree because _____.” Invite students to chorally repeat this sentence in unison 1–2 times.
Advances: Speaking, Conversing, Representing
Representation: Internalize Comprehension.
Synthesis: Use multiple examples and non-examples to emphasize the importance of counting every object one time. Demonstrate to students the non-example of counting one object twice in a collection.
Supports accessibility for: Conceptual Processing, Organization
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
10-frames
Collections of objects
Counting mats
Required Preparation
Each student needs a collection of 11–20 objects.
Launch
Groups of 2
Give each student a collection of objects and access to 10-frames and a counting mat.
“How many objects are in your collection?”
Activity
3 minutes: independent work time
“Tell your partner how many objects are in your collection.”
30 seconds: partner discussion
“Switch collections with your partner. Do you agree with your partner about how many objects are in the collection?”

Advancing Student Thinking
If students count each object more than once or do not count some of the objects, consider asking:
“How many objects do you have? How do you know?”
Display the counting mat or the 10-frame and ask “How can you use this mat to help you make sure that you count each object?”
Activity Synthesis
“Show your partner how you counted and tell your partner how many objects are in your new collection. Did you and your partner count the collection the same way? Did you agree about how many objects are in the collection?”
“We might count the objects differently than our partner, but we should get the same number if we count every object one time.”
