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.


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.

Answer: 
No. Though this task involves addition, it does not involve any word problems.

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

K
standard_description: Rewrite simple rational expressions in different forms; write a(x)/b(x) in the form q(x) + r(x)/b(x), where a(x), b(x), q(x), and r(x) are polynomials with the degree of r(x) less than the degree of b(x), using inspection, long division, or, for the more complicated examples, a computer algebra system.

Below is the graph and equation of the function
$$f$$
.
$$f(x)=(x-2)(x-5)\over(x-2)(x+1)$$

And below is the graph and equation of the function
$$g$$
.
$$g(x)={(x-5)\over(x+1)}$$
[IMG]
How are the functions
$$f$$
and
$$g$$
similar Different?
Problem 2
How are the functions
$${g(x)}$$
and
$${h(x)}$$
different? Similar?
$${g(x)}={x^2\over{x-2}}$$
$${h(x)}={x^2-4\over{(x-2)(x+3)}}$$


aligns: yes
