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:
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 multiply multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.

Answer: 
Yes. This set of problems involves multi-digit whole numbers because the numbers in each problem are four and two digit integers, and the mathematical calculations involved in both problems focus on multiplication. The first problem explicitly asks the student to solve its subproblems using the standard algorithm.

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

standard_description: Use addition to find the total number of objects arranged in rectangular arrays with up to 5 rows and up to 5 columns; write an equation to express the total as a sum of equal addends.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to compare a Put Together, Total Unknown story problem and a Put Together/Take Apart, Both Addends Unknown story problem with a similar context. This is the first time that students have worked with a Put Together/Take Apart, Both Addends Unknown story problem.
Representation: Access for Perception.
Synthesis: Create a visual display to represent each story. For Mai, draw 7 circles and ask, “how many should I color in yellow?” and “how many should I color in red?” (5 yellow and 2 red). For Lin, draw 8 unshaded circles, and ask, “do we know which colors to use for Lin’s apples?” (no, we do not know how many of each color she picked).
Supports accessibility for: Visual-Spatial Processing, Organization
Launch
Groups of 2
Read both stories.
“What do you notice? What do you wonder?” (There are 2 stories. They are both about picking apples. There are red apples and yellow apples in both. I wonder how many red apples Lin picked.)
Activity
Read the first story problem.
“What do you know about Mai’s apples in this story? What do you not know?” (We know that she picked red and yellow apples. We know that she picked 5 yellow apples and 2 red apples. We do not know how many apples she picked altogether.)
30 seconds: quiet think time
1 minute: partner discussion
Share responses.
Read the second story problem.
“What do you know about Lin’s apples in this story? What do you not know?” (We know that she picked 8 apples. We know that some of them were red and some of them were yellow. We don’t know how many red ones or how many yellow ones she picked.)

Student Facing
Mai was picking apples at the orchard.
Mai picked 5 yellow apples and 2 red apples.
Lin picked 8 apples at the orchard.
Some of the apples were yellow.
The rest of the apples were red.

Activity Synthesis
“What is the same about these stories?” (They are both about picking apples. They both have red and yellow apples.)
“What is different about the stories?” (The first story is about Mai and the next story is about Lin. In the first story we knew how many yellow apples and how many red apples. In the second story we know that there are 8 apples altogether.)
“In the next activity, we will work on showing what happened in the second story.”
