 Narrative
 The first partner spins to get a group of coins. They write a question that compares the amount they spun to a different group of coins that they make up.

Concept/skill: 
Use addition and subtraction within 100 to solve one- and two-step word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.

Answer: 
No. This activity does not involve addition or subtraction, or unknowns in different positions of equations or drawings.

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

standard_description: Solve simple rational and radical equations in one variable, and give examples showing how extraneous solutions may arise.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to use informal language and the structure of the coordinate grid to describe a given shape. Some questions may be about properties of the shape rather than its location. For example, “Is the rectangle wider than it is tall?” is a question that eliminates many shapes. As the number of shapes decreases, the location will become more important and the features of the coordinate grid will play a larger role. The synthesis gives students an opportunity to consider how the numbers in the coordinate grid can be useful to accurately describe the attributes, location, and orientation of a given shape (MP6).

Activity
5 minutes: partner work time
Monitor for students who:
reference the structure of the grid in their questions
reference the numbers on the horizontal and vertical axes in their questions
use gestures to indicate horizontal or vertical gridlines
use the words horizontal or vertical

Play a round of Guess Which One.
Sit next to your partner.
Partner A:
Mentally choose a shape card without indicating which shape card you chose.
Partner B:
Ask yes or no questions to determine which shape card partner A has chosen.

Switch roles and play another round of Guess Which One.
Diego and Kiran were playing a round of Guess Which One. These are the last two shapes. What question can Kiran ask to determine which shape is the one that Diego picked?

Advancing Student Thinking
If students do not reference the grid lines or numbers when asking questions, refer to the display from the first activity and ask, “Which words can you use to help you figure out which shape your partner chose?”
Activity Synthesis
Ask previously identified students to share their reasoning.
“How do the numbers help us locate shapes on the grid?” (I could use them to describe the lines and the points. I could also use numbers to describe the location of the shape: “Go up three. Go over 5.”)
“The gridlines with numbers on them are called
axes
. The coordinate grid has a
horizontal axis
and a
vertical axis
.”
