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: 
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.

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: 
Understand that by similarity, side ratios in right triangles are properties of the angles in the triangle, leading to definitions of trigonometric ratios for acute angles.

Answer: 
No. This problem does not directly teach how side ratios in right triangles lead to definitions of trigonometric ratios. Instead, it involves solving a trigonometric function.

standard_description: Apply the general Multiplication Rule in a uniform probability model, P(A and B) = P(A)P(B|A) = P(B)P(A|B), and interpret the answer in terms of the model.
problem_activity: Warm-up
The purpose of this warm-up is for students to begin to see the need for samples of data when the population is too large. In this activity, students are asked to think about a question involving all the students at their school and compare the question to an earlier lesson in which the population was small and it was easy to obtain data for the entire population.
Teacher Notes for IM 6–8 Accelerated
The activity referring to song lengths in the second question is not included in IM 6–8 Math Accelerated. If necessary, tell students that the albums each contained either 7 or 8 songs.
Launch
Give students 2 minutes of quiet work time followed by a whole-class discussion.
Student Facing
Consider the question: In general, do the students at this school have more letters in their first name or last name? How many more letters?
What are some ways you might get some data to answer the question?
The other day, we compared the heights of people on different teams and the lengths of songs on different albums. What makes this question about first and last names harder to answer than those questions?

Activity Synthesis
The purpose of the discussion is to highlight the methods of getting data for the school more than it is the method of computing the answer.
Select some students to share their responses.
Students who have elected to sum all the letters in the first names in the school and all the letters in the last names in the school may note that it is a simple comparison to tell whether there are more in first or last names, since you get one single large number for each group. (Comparing data sets.)
Students who have elected to calculate the mean for each group and use MAD as a method of comparison may note that while the calculations may take more time, they give you more precise information, such as knowing about how long first names and last names are, as well as a way to compare the two sets. (Using the general rule from the previous lesson.)
Students who suggest surveying a small group of students may point out that it would be easier to do the calculation with a smaller group.  The information would not be as accurate, but it would take a lot less time and might give a good general idea. It would depend on how accurate you needed your answer to be.  (Introduction to sampling.)
