Narrative
The first partner spins to get a group of coins. They write a question that compares the amount they spun to a different group of coins that they make up.


Mathematical concept/skill options: 
A. Solve problems involving measurement and estimation of intervals of time, liquid volumes, and masses of objects.
B. Represent and interpret data.
C. Geometric measurement: understand concepts of volume and relate volume to multiplication and to addition.
D. Geometric measurement: recognize perimeter as an attribute of plane figures and distinguish between linear and area measures.
E. Describe and compare measurable attributes.
F. Geometric measurement: understand concepts of angle and measure angles.
G. Convert like measurement units within a given measurement system.
H. Geometric measurement: understand concepts of area and relate area to multiplication and to addition.
I. Measure and estimate lengths in standard units.
J. Classify objects and count the number of objects in each category.
K. Tell and write time.
L. Solve problems involving measurement and conversion of measurements from a larger unit to a smaller unit.
M. Measure lengths indirectly and by iterating length units.
N. Work with time and money.
O. Relate addition and subtraction to length.


Your response:
Thought: In this problem, students work with money in the form of coins.

options: Use place value understanding and properties of operations to perform multi-digit arithmetic. (A range of algorithms may be used.)

Generalize place value understanding for multi-digit whole numbers.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to whole numbers less than or equal to 1,000,000.

Understand place value.

Perform operations with multi-digit whole numbers and with decimals to hundredths.

Understand the place value system.

Work with numbers 11–19 to gain foundations for place value.

Extend the counting sequence.

Use place value understanding and properties of operations to add and subtract.

Use place value understanding and properties of operations to perform multi-digit arithmetic.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to whole numbers less than or equal to 1,000,000.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this True or False is to elicit strategies students have for reasoning about place value to determine if an equation is true or false. The reasoning students do here helps to deepen their understanding of using strategies based on place value. It will also be helpful later when students reason about how to reach 100 from a given number using the number line.
Launch
Display one statement.
“Give me a signal when you know whether the statement is true and can explain how you know.”
1 minute: quiet think time
Activity
Share and record answers and strategy.
Repeat with each statement.
Student Facing
Decide if each statement is true or false. Be prepared to explain your reasoning.
\(28 + 2 + 20 = 50\)
\(16 + 3 + 30 = 50\)
\(36 + 4 + 20 = 50\)

Activity Synthesis
“How can you explain your answer to the last statement without finding the sum of all three addends?” (I could add 36 and 20 and see that it’s more than 56. I could add 36 and 4 to get 40. I know I would need 10 more to get to 50 and I see more than 10 left to add.)
