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: Derive the equation of a circle of given center and radius using the Pythagorean Theorem; complete the square to find the center and radius of a circle given by an equation.
problem_activity: Activity
The purpose of this activity is to give students practice writing and graphing equations from situations. In the next activity and in the supported Algebra 1 lesson, students will write and graph inequalities  Students then assess the meaning of points off of the line in the situation provided and interpret whether those points might be valid in the situation.
Student Facing
Write an equation that helps to answer the question about the situation. Then draw a graph that represents the equation.
Jada goes to an orchard to pick plums and apricots to make jam. She picks 20 pounds of fruit altogether. If she picks
\(a\)
pounds of apricots, how many pounds of plums does she pick?
[IMG]
Consider the point
\((5,16)\)
. Is it possible for the weight of the fruit to be represented by that point in this situation? Explain your reasoning.
In a video game, a character can run at a top speed of 30 miles per hour, but each additional pound that the character carries lowers the maximum running speed by 1 mile per hour. What is the maximum running speed of the character when they are carrying
\(w\)
pounds?

Consider the point
\((10,15)\)
. Is it possible for a character in this game to be represented by that point in this situation? Explain your reasoning.

Activity Synthesis
The purpose of the discussion is to examine points on and off the lines and determine what they might mean in the situations.
Ask students:
"What are the coordinates for a point on the line that represents the scooter situation? What do the coordinates mean in that situation?" (The point
\((1,22)\)
is on the line. This means that renting the scooter for 2 hours should cost
$
22.)
"What are the coordinates for a point above the line that represents the scooter situation? What do the coordinates mean in that situation? Is it realistic?" (The point
\((2,30)\)
is above the line. This means paying
$
30 for 2 hours with a scooter. It only makes sense if the person is overpaying for some reason like if they broke part of the scooter and have to pay extra.)
"The point
\((5,30)\)
is above the line that represents the maximum run speed for the videogame character. Describe a situation where this might be possible." (If the character has an item that ignores the carry weight or something that boosts their run speed, then maybe this is possible.)
