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:
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.

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

standard_description: Use place value understanding to round multi-digit whole numbers to any place.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to whole numbers less than or equal to 1,000,000.
problem_activity: Narrative
In this activity, students identify the nearest multiples of 10,000 and 100,000 for the six-digit numbers they saw in the first activity. They may do so by using the number lines from earlier, but they may also start to notice a pattern in the relationship between the numbers and the nearest multiples without the number lines (MP7).

Groups of 2 or 4
Display number line with endpoints of 100,000 and 200,000.
Activity
“Take a few quiet minutes to work on the activity. Then, share your responses with your group.”
6–7 minutes: independent work time
3–4 minutes: group discussion
Student Facing
Use the number line that represents the numbers between 100,000 and 200,000 for this activity.
Name the multiple of 10,000 that is the nearest to each number. (Leave the last column blank for now.)
| number  | nearest multiple of 10,000 | \(\phantom{nearest multiple}\) |
|---------|----------------------------|--------------------------------|
| 100,025 |                            |                                |
| 128,201 |                            |                                |
| 140,261 |                            |                                |
| 158,002 |                            |                                |
| 194,030 |                            |                                |
Here is the number line with 215,300 shown on it. Which multiple of 100,000 is the nearest to 215,300?
[IMG]
Label the last column in the table “nearest multiple of 100,000.” Then, name the nearest multiple of 100,000 for each number in the table.

Advancing Student Thinking
Students may see that the nearest multiples of 10,000 for a number are the two tick marks surrounding the point but may be unsure what numbers they represent. Ask them to recall what each tick mark represents on this set of number lines and urge them to count the marks.
Activity Synthesis
Display the blank table from the activity. Invite students to share their responses to complete the table. Discuss any disagreements.
Invite students to share how they identified the nearest multiples of 10,000 and 100,000.
If no students mentioned that they examined the location of each point visually and decided the closest tick marks on the number line, ask them about it.
