 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: 
Solve word problems involving dollar bills, quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies, using $ and ¬¢ symbols appropriately. Example: If you have 2 dimes and 3 pennies, how many cents do you have?

Answer: 
Yes. In this activity, students write word problems that compare coin amounts.

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

standard_description: Solve word problems that call for addition of three whole numbers whose sum is less than or equal to 20, e.g., by using objects, drawings, and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.
problem_activity: The square below has an area of
$${20}$$
square units.
[IMG]
Taylor writes the equation
$$s^2={20}$$
to find the measure of the side length of the square. She reasons that the solution to the equation is
$$\sqrt{20}$$
and concludes that the side length of the square is
$${10}$$
units.
Do you agree with Taylor? Explain why or why not. If you disagree, include the correct side length of the square.
