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: 
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.

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

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

K
standard_description: Compute unit rates associated with ratios of fractions, including ratios of lengths, areas and other quantities measured in like or different units. For example, if a person walks 1/2 mile in each 1/4 hour, compute the unit rate as the complex fraction 1/2/1/4 miles per hour, equivalently 2 miles per hour.
problem_activity: Warm-up
The purpose of this warm-up is for students to reason about numeric expressions using what they know about operations with negative and positive numbers without actually computing anything.
Launch
Explain to students that we sometimes leave out the small dot that tells us that two numbers are being multiplied. So when a number, or a number and a variable, are next to each other without a symbol between them, that means we are finding their product. For example,
\((\text-5)\boldcdot (\text-10)\)
can be written
\((\text-5) (\text-10)\)
and
\(\text-5 \boldcdot x\)
can be written
\(\text-5x\)
.
Display one problem at a time. Give students 1 minute of quiet think time per problem and ask them to give a signal when they have an answer. Follow with a whole-class discussion.
Student Facing
Decide if each statement is true or false. Be prepared to explain your reasoning.
\((\text-38.76)(\text-15.6)\)
is negative
\(10,000 - 99,999 < 0\)
\(\left( \frac34 \right)\left( \text- \frac43 \right) = 0\)
\((30)(\text- 80) - 50 = 50 - (30)(\text- 80)\)
