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 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: Understand that the two digits of a two-digit number represent amounts of tens and ones. Understand the following as special cases:
- The numbers from 11 to 19 are composed of a ten and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine ones.
- The numbers 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 refer to one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine tens (and 0 ones).
- 10 can be thought of as a bundle of ten ones — called a “ten.”
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is to reintroduce students to Put Together, Total Unknown story problems. In this type of problem, there is no action, so students must recognize the addends must be joined to make up the total. Students were introduced to this type of story problem in kindergarten and solved within 10 using objects or drawings. Students also solved Put Together, Total Unknown problems in Unit 1 in the context of data.
Students begin the activity by looking at the problem displayed, rather than in their books. The three reads routine gives students an opportunity to make sense of the problem before looking for a solution. Because there is no action in a put together problem, students identify the important quantities and think about how they might represent them before they solve the problem (MP1). At the end of the launch, students open their books and work on the problem. Students solve in any way they choose including using objects, drawings, words, or numbers, and write an equation to match the story problem.
This activity uses

Launch
Groups of 2
Give students access to 10-frames and connecting cubes or two-color counters.
Activity
MLR6 Three Reads
Display only the problem stem, without revealing the question(s).
“We are going to read this problem 3 times.”
1st Read: “Kiran has some fish in his fish tank. He has 4 red fish and 5 blue fish.”
“What is this story about?”
1 minute: partner discussion
Listen for and clarify any questions about the context.
2nd Read: “Kiran has some fish in his fish tank. He has 4 red fish and 5 blue fish.”
“What are all the things we can count in this story?” (the number of red fish, the number of blue fish, the total number of fish)
30 seconds: quiet think time
2 minutes: partner discussion
Share and record all quantities.
Reveal the question(s).
3rd Read: Read the entire problem, including question(s) aloud.
“What are different ways we can solve this problem?” (I can use red and blue connecting cubes. I can draw the fish and count them.)
30 seconds: quiet think time
1 minute: partner discussion
"Solve the problem."
3 minutes: independent work time
“Share your thinking with your partner.”
2 minutes: partner discussion
Monitor for students who solve in the following ways and can explain their thinking clearly:
objects or drawings and count all
objects or drawings and count on
numbers and count on
Student Facing
Kiran has some fish in his fish tank.
He has 4 red fish and 5 blue fish.
How many fish does he have in all?
Show your thinking using drawings, numbers, or words.

Activity Synthesis
Invite previously identified students to share in sequence above.
After each student shares, “How does this representation match the story problem?”
Display
\(4+5=\boxed{9}\)
.
"Where do you see the parts of this equation in this representation? The story problem?” (4 means the 4 red fish, 5 is the blue fish, 9 is how many he has altogether.)
