 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 word problems involving addition and subtraction of fractions referring to the same whole, including cases of unlike denominators, e.g., by using visual fraction models or equations to represent the problem. Use benchmark fractions and number sense of fractions to estimate mentally and assess the reasonableness of answers. For example, recognize an incorrect result 2/5 + 1/2 = 3/7, by observing that 3/7 < 1/2.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to practice identifying fractional intervals along a number line. This is Stage 2 of the center activity, Number Line Scoot. This activity encourages students to count by the number of intervals (the numerator). Students have to land exactly on the last tick mark, which represents 4, to encourage them to move along different number lines. While this activity does not focus on equivalence, it gives students exposure to this idea before they work more formally with it in the next section. In the synthesis, students relate counting on a number line marked off in whole numbers to their number lines marked off in fractional-sized intervals.
It may be helpful to play a few rounds with the whole class to be sure students are clear on the rules of the game. Keep the number line game boards for center use.
Engagement: Develop Effort and Persistence.
Check in and provide each group with feedback that encourages collaboration and community. For example, check in after the first round of Number Line Scoot.

Number Line Scoot Stage 2 Directions
Required Preparation
Each group of 2 students needs a number cube.
Each student needs at least 5 base-ten cubes to use as game pieces.
Launch
Groups of 2
Give each group of 2 a gameboard, two recording sheets, a number cube, and at least 10 base-ten cubes.
“Now you will play a game where you move, by fractions, along different number lines. To start, each player places a small cube on zero on each number line. The goal of the game is to get as many small cubes as you can to the 4 on any of the number lines.”
Roll the number cube, demonstrate where to record the rolled number and move that fraction along one of the number lines.
Activity
10 minutes: partner work time
As students work, monitor for students who count by the numerator once they have chosen a number line.
Activity Synthesis
Display a gameboard with a marker on
\(\frac{3}{4}\)
.
“If I rolled a 4, and chose to move
\(\frac{4}{4}\)
, how would you count the move?” (I would count 1, 2, 3, 4.)
“How did you know you have moved
\(\frac{4}{4}\)
?” (Because each space is
\(\frac{1}{4}\)
, so I need to move 4 times.)
Display a number line marked with only 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.
“How is counting along this number line the same and different than counting along your number lines?” (On the whole number one each space is 1 so we just count 1, 2, 3, 4. On our number lines we still count the jumps, but now each space is smaller than 1 so we need the denominator to tell us the size of each space.)
