options: Number & Operations - Fractions: students learn to understand fractions as numbers and may work with them using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Modeling: students learn to choose and use appropriate mathematics and statistics to analyze real-world empirical situations, improve decisions, and report on their conclusions and the reasoning behind them.

Measurement & Data: students learn to work with data and measure attributes such as time, money, length, area, and volume. They may learn to compare measurements to operations and convert between different units of measure.

Counting & Cardinality: students learn to know number names and the count sequence, count to tell the number of objects, and compare numbers.

Functions: students learn to define, use, and evaluate functions to model relationships between quantities.

Statistics & Probability: students learn to analyze and produce data distributions, and build understanding of univariate and bivariate data. They learn to interpret data, make statistical inferences, justify conclusions, understand rules of probability, and use probability to make decisions.

Ratios & Proportional Relationships: students learn to recognize, describe, represent, and reason with ratios, rates, proportional relationships, and percent.

Number & Operations in Base Ten: students learn to work with the base-ten system and build place value understanding.

Operations & Algebra: students learn to solve problems using algebraic thinking and operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. They may learn to identify and explain arithmetic patterns, evaluate or manipulate numerical expressions, and reason with equations and inequalities.

Geometry: students learn to classify geometric figures by their properties, and understand and compare the relationships between them. Students develop and use formulas to compute lengths, areas, and volumes, and they use transformations to generate new shapes and compare existing ones. Geometry can be studied with and without coordinates.

Number Systems and Quantity: students learn to understand the complex number system and reason quantitatively.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is to analyze a clock showing a time when it can be difficult to tell the difference between the hour and the minute hand. This activity allows students to discuss how they know where the hands are placed when the time is to the hour.
Launch
Groups of 2
Display the clock in the first problem.
“Diego and Priya read the clock and got two different times.”
“Who is correct? How do you know?”
Activity
2 minutes: partner discussion
5 minutes: independent work time
Monitor for a student who says the hour hand is pointing to 6 and one who says that for 12:30 the hour hand should be between 12 and 1.
Student Facing

Diego says this clock shows 6:00.
Priya says the clock shows 12:30.
Who do you agree with? Why?

“Why do you think Priya got mixed up? What could you say to help her revise her thinking?” (Priya mixed up the minute and hour hands. I could remind her that the short hand is the hour and the long hand is the minute. I could remind her that if it was 12:30 the hour hand would have to be between two numbers.)
“On the blank clock, draw hands to show 12:30.”
