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:
Task
 Arrange the fractions in order from least to greatest. Explain your answer with a picture.
 $\frac{1}{5}, \frac{1}{7}, \frac{1}{3} $
 $\frac{2}{5}, \frac{2}{7}, \frac{2}{3} $
 $\frac{5}{6}, \frac{3}{6}, \frac{1}{6} $
 $\frac{5}{12}, \frac{8}{12}, \frac{4}{12} $

Concept/skill: 
Understand a fraction as a number on the number line; represent fractions on a number line diagram.
 Grade 3 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8.

Answer: 
No. Completing this task does not involve representing fractions on a number line diagram.

Example 3:
Problem/activity:
Problem 1
Solve using the standard algorithm. If you get stuck, use an area model and/or the partial products algorithm to help. Then assess the reasonableness of your answer.
a.
$$5,803\times46$$
b.
$$63\times2,116$$
Problem 2
Dunkin' introduced a croissant doughnut in 2014. In the first three months of its debut, they sold 7,870 dozen of them per day. How many croissant doughnuts were sold in the first three months?


Concept/skill: 
Fluently add and subtract multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to whole numbers less than or equal to 1,000,000.

Answer: 
No. This set of problems does not directly involve adding or subtracting multi-digit whole numbers. Instead, it focuses on multiplying multi-digit whole numbers.

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

standard_description: Find whole-number quotients of whole numbers with up to four-digit dividends and two-digit divisors, using strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.
problem_activity: Problem 1
a.   Shani calculated
$$81\div3$$
using an area model by finding the length of a rectangle whose area is 81 square units and width is 3 units.
[IMG]
The value being divided has 8 tens. The area model has only 6 tens in the leftmost region. Why?
Where did the 21 ones come from in the area model?
b.   Albie calculated
$$81\div3$$
using a method that was different from Shani’s.
[IMG]
Albie subtracted 60 from 81. What does the 60 represent?
Albie wrote 7 above the 20, and then subtracted 21 from 21. How is the 21 related to the 7?
What do the numbers 20 and 7 represent?
c.   Kimiko has a method of calculating quotients that is different from Shani’s method and Albie’s method. Here is how she found the quotient
$$81\div3$$
.
[IMG]
How is Kimiko’s method similar to and different from Shani’s method and Albie’s method?
Kimiko subtracted
$$3\times2$$
, then
$$3\times7$$
. Earlier, Albie subtracted
$$3\times20$$
, then
$$3\times7$$
. Why did they have the same quotient?
Why do you think Kimiko wrote 1 next to the remainder of 2 rather than adding 1 and 2 to get 3?
Problem 2
Estimate each quotient, then solve using any method. Then assess the reasonableness of your answer.
a.
$$97 \div2$$
b.
$$1,216\div4$$
c.
$$4,309\div7$$
