 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 quadratic equations with real coefficients that have complex solutions.
problem_activity: Task
The first three steps of three visual patterns are shown below.

Here are functions that define how many tiles are in step $n$, in no particular order: $$f(n)=3n^2$$ $$g(n)=n^2+4$$ $$h(n)=n^2-1$$
Decide which function defines which pattern.
One of these patterns has a step with $432$ tiles in it, one has a step with $195$ tiles in it, and one of these patterns has a step with $404$ tiles in it. Decide which is which, find the step that contains that number of tiles, and explain how you know.
Describe and justify the steps to solve this equation for $x$. $$ax^2+c=d$$
