Problem/activity:
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: 
Solve addition and subtraction word problems, and add and subtract within 10, e.g., by using objects or drawings to represent the problem.

Answer: 
No. Though this task involves addition, it does not involve any word problems.

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

K
standard_description: Know and apply the properties of integer exponents to generate equivalent numerical expressions. For example, 3^(2) × 3^(–5) = 3^(–3) = 1/3^(3) = 1/27.

Evaluate:
\(\dfrac{3^5}{3^4}\)
\(\dfrac{3^1}{3^0}\)
\(\dfrac{3^{\text-1}}{3^{\text-2}}\)
\(\dfrac{3^{100}}{3^{99}}\)
\(\dfrac{3^{x+1}}{3^x}\)
Solve for
\(m\)
:
\(\dfrac{2^m}{2^7}=2\)
\(\dfrac{2^{100}}{2^m}=2\)
\(\dfrac{2^m}{2^x}=2\)
Write an equivalent expression using as few terms as possible:
\(3(x+1) + 4 - (3x + 4)\)
\(2(x+1) + 5 - (2x + 5)\)
\(2(x+2) + 5 - (2(x+1) + 5)\)
\(\text-5(x+1) + 3 - (\text-5x + 3)\)
\(\dfrac{5^{x+1}}{5^x}\)
\(\dfrac{7^{x+4}}{7^x}\)

Activity Synthesis
Either display the correct solutions or invite students check with another student to see if their answers are the same.  If there are any differences between solutions, invite students to ask questions or discuss whole group.
