Example 1:
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: 
Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings (Drawings need not show details, but should show the mathematics in the problem. (This applies wherever drawings are mentioned in the Standards.)), sounds (e.g., claps), acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations.

Answer: 
Yes. This task involves representing addition with objects such as number cards and dice.

Example 2:
Problem/activity:
For each pair of numbers, determine if the values are equivalent. Explain your reasoning for each one.
a.
$$-0.25$$
and
$$\frac{1}{-4}$$
b.
$$-\left ( \frac{1}{4} \right )$$
and
$$\frac{-1}{-4}$$
c.
$$\frac{-1}{4}$$
and
$$-\frac{1}{4}$$


Concept/skill: 
Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a fraction or whole number by a fraction.

Answer: 
No. The expressions shown in this problem do not involve multiplying fractions with other fractions, nor whole numbers with fractions.

Example 3:
Problem/activity:
Find the general solution for:
$${\mathrm{cos}\left({\pi\over2}+x\right)=\mathrm{tan}{\pi\over4}}$$


Concept/skill: 
Prove the addition and subtraction formulas for sine, cosine, and tangent and use them to solve problems.

Answer: 
Yes. An initial step when solving for x in this problem requires the use of the addition formula for cosine on the left side of the equation.

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

standard_description: Fluently add and subtract within 5.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to fluently add and subtract within 5. Students look at the expression on their card and move quickly to the corner that is labeled with the correct answer. There are 16 expression cards included in the blackline master.
MLR8 Discussion Supports.
Invite students to read the expression card aloud to each partner. Listen for and clarify any questions about the the expressions.
Advances: Conversing
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Materials from a previous lesson
Required Preparation
Each student needs one card from the Expression Cards set used in a previous lesson.
Label each corner of the classroom with a large number: 2, 3, 4, and 5.
Launch
Give each student an expression card.
“Find the value of the expression on your card. Go to the corner that is labeled with the value of the expression.”
Activity
30 seconds: independent work time
“Find a partner in your corner. Show them your card and tell them how you found the value of your expression.”
2 minutes: partner discussion
“Walk back to the center of the room. Trade your card with a partner.”
Repeat the steps above 3–4 times, as time allows.
Activity Synthesis
Display the expression
\(3 - 1\)
.
“Noah saw this expression and went to the corner labeled 4. Was he correct? How do you know?” (No, because this is 3 take away 1 and that is 2.)
“Why do you think he went to the corner labeled 4?” (He might have thought it was
\(3 + 1\)
instead of
\(3 - 1\)
.)
