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.


Standard options: 
A. Tell and write time from analog and digital clocks to the nearest five minutes, using a.m. and p.m.
B. Solve word problems involving dollar bills, quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies, using $ and ¢ symbols appropriately. Example: If you have 2 dimes and 3 pennies, how many cents do you have?


Your response:
Thought: In this activity, students write word problems that compare coin amounts.
Answer: B

Now, assign the following problem or activity to one or more relevant standards it aligns with.

options: Construct linear and exponential functions, including arithmetic and geometric sequences, given a graph, a description of a relationship, or two input-output pairs (include reading these from a table).

For exponential models, express as a logarithm the solution to ab^(ct) = d where a, c, and d are numbers and the base b is 2, 10, or e; evaluate the logarithm using technology.

Observe using graphs and tables that a quantity increasing exponentially eventually exceeds a quantity increasing linearly, quadratically, or (more generally) as a polynomial function.

Distinguish between situations that can be modeled with linear functions and with exponential functions.

In general, the $n^{\text{th}}$ triangular number is the total number of dots in $n$ columns where the columns have $1, 2, 3, \ldots, n$ dots.
The following picture relates the first three triangular numbers to areas of rectangles:

Use this idea to calculate the seventh triangular number, $1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5+ 6+ 7$.
Calculate the hundredth triangular number, $1 + 2 + 3 + \cdots + 98 + 99 + 100$.
Find a formula for calculating the $n^{\text{th}}$ triangular number, $1 + 2 + \cdots + (n-1) + n.$
