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: Apply properties of operations as strategies to add, subtract, factor, and expand linear expressions with rational coefficients.
problem_activity: Activity
This activity continues work done in the previous lesson that connected various representations of proportional relationships including images, equations, and descriptions. In this activity students match diagrams, descriptions, and equations that represent a proportional relationship, involving variables
\(x\)
and
\(y\)
. Students then create their own diagram to represent an equation.
Identify students that create diagrams representing each of the unmatched equations, so they can share their work during the discussion.
Launch
Give students 7–10 minutes of quiet think time on the questions. Follow with whole-class discussion.
Representation: Internalize Comprehension.
Begin the activity with concrete or familiar contexts. For example, display a tape diagram with concrete values for
\(x\)
and
\(y\)
such as 20 and 15 respectively. Ask students “How much did 20 decrease by to get to 15?” Highlight the connections between the concrete and abstract tape diagrams. In the concrete tape diagram, 20 decreased by
\(\frac{1}{4}\)
to get 15. In the abstract tape diagram,
\(x\)
also decreased by
\(\frac{1}{4}\)
to get
\(y\)
.

Draw a diagram for one of the unmatched equations.

Activity Synthesis
Ask previously identified students to share their diagrams and explain how they represent the equation they chose. Then, ask students that did not share their diagrams to explain whether
\(x\)
(or
\(y\)
) is increased or decreased by some amount in the discussed equations.
Representing, Writing: MLR3 Clarify, Critique, Correct.
Present an incorrect diagram to represent one of the unused equations that reflects a possible misunderstanding from the class. For example, for the equation
\(y=0.75x\)
, draw a diagram where
\(y\)
is greater than
\(x\)
. Prompt students to identify the error, and then write a correct diagram to represent the equation. This will support students to understand the relationship between equations and diagrams.
