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:
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: Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities. For example, “The ratio of wings to beaks in the bird house at the zoo was 2:1, because for every 2 wings there was 1 beak.” “For every vote candidate A received, candidate C received nearly three votes.”
problem_activity: Optional activity
This activity provides an opportunity for additional practice in solving equivalent ratio problems. Monitor for students solving the problems in different ways.
Launch
Give students 4 minutes of quiet work time and then have them discuss their solutions with a partner.
Representation: Internalize Comprehension.
Activate or supply background knowledge about equivalent ratios describing situations that happen at the same rate which can be displayed on double number lines. Allow students to use calculators to ensure inclusive participation in the activity.
Supports accessibility for: Memory; Conceptual processing
Writing: MLR5 Co-Craft Questions.
Before asking students to solve the given question, display only Lin's, Diego's and Elena's reading rates. Invite students think of possible mathematical questions about this situation. Keep in mind students do not need to answer their created questions. Students share and revise their questions with a partner and then with the whole class. Record questions shared with the class in a public space. This helps students connect mathematical language to get into the context of the problem as they reason about the three different quantities (i.e., number of pages read, number of pages in the book, and number of days reading).
Design Principle(s): Maximize meta-awareness​
Student Facing
Lin read the first 54 pages from a 270-page book in the last 3 days.
Diego read the first 100 pages from a 325-page book in the last 4 days.
Elena read the first 160 pages from a 480-page book in the last 5 days.
If they continue to read every day at these rates, who will finish first, second, and third? Explain or show your reasoning.

The ratio of cats to dogs in a room is
\(2:3\)
. Five more cats enter the room, and then the ratio of cats to dogs is
\(9:11\)
. How many cats and dogs were in the room to begin with?

Activity Synthesis
Select students to present their solutions. Sequence solutions with diagrams first and then tables. Make sure students see connections between the different representations and ways of solving the problems.
