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.

standard_description: Count within 1000; skip-count by 5s, 10s, and 100s.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this Choral Count is for students to practice counting on by 5 and to notice patterns in the count. These understandings help students develop fluency and will be helpful later in this lesson and future lessons when students show their thinking when finding total values of sets of coins.
Launch
“Count by 5, starting at 15.”
Record in a single row as students count.
Stop counting and recording at 85.
“Count by 5, starting at 40.”
Record in a single row directly below the first count as students count. Put 40 directly below 20, so that the fives and zeros in the ones place of each number are aligned.
Stop counting and recording at 100.

“Does anyone want to add an observation as to why that pattern is happening here?”
