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.


Standard options: 
A. 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.
B. For any number from 1 to 9, find the number that makes 10 when added to the given number, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record the answer with a drawing or equation.
C. Decompose numbers less than or equal to 10 into pairs in more than one way, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record each decomposition by a drawing or equation (e.g., 5 = 2 + 3 and 5 = 4 + 1).
D. Solve addition and subtraction word problems, and add and subtract within 10, e.g., by using objects or drawings to represent the problem.
E. Fluently add and subtract within 5.

Problem/activity:
Problem 1
Solve using the standard algorithm. If you get stuck, use an area model and/or the partial products algorithm to help. Then assess the reasonableness of your answer.
a.
$$5,803\times46$$
b.
$$63\times2,116$$
Problem 2
Dunkin' introduced a croissant doughnut in 2014. In the first three months of its debut, they sold 7,870 dozen of them per day. How many croissant doughnuts were sold in the first three months?


Standard options: 
A. Add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals to hundredths, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method and explain the reasoning used.
B. Find whole-number quotients of whole numbers with up to four-digit dividends and two-digit divisors, using strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.
C. Fluently multiply multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.


Your response:
Thought: This set of problems involves multi-digit whole numbers because the numbers in each problem are four and two digit integers, and the mathematical calculations involved in both problems focus on multiplication. The first problem explicitly asks the student to solve its subproblems using the standard algorithm.
Answer: C

options: Recognize angle measure as additive. When an angle is decomposed into non-overlapping parts, the angle measure of the whole is the sum of the angle measures of the parts. Solve addition and subtraction problems to find unknown angles on a diagram in real world and mathematical problems, e.g., by using an equation with a symbol for the unknown angle measure.

Recognize angles as geometric shapes that are formed wherever two rays share a common endpoint, and understand concepts of angle measurement:
- An angle is measured with reference to a circle with its center at the common endpoint of the rays, by considering the fraction of the circular arc between the points where the two rays intersect the circle. An angle that turns through 1/360 of a circle is called a “one-degree angle,” and can be used to measure angles.
- An angle that turns through n one-degree angles is said to have an angle measure of n degrees.

Measure angles in whole-number degrees using a protractor. Sketch angles of specified measure.
problem_activity: Narrative
In a previous lesson, students described an angle to a peer so that they might draw the angle accurately without seeing it. Students learned what an angle is and have reasoned about how to describe the size of an angle.
In this activity, students use the features of an analog clock (minute hand, hour hand, and position of numbers) to explain how to draw a given angle. In doing so, they use language related to turning one or both hands on the clock. In future activities, students will relate this idea to turning a ray around a fixed point.
The hands on an actual clock are designed so that moving the minute moves the hour hand. The examples here disregard this constraint. For the purposes of this activity, it is assumed that both hands can be moved freely, or that one hand can be held in place while the other moved freely.

Activity
“In an earlier lesson, we played a game where you described an angle to your partner to help them draw it without seeing it.”
“Read Andre’s explanation for how to draw an angle. Try to draw his angle, and then think of another way to describe how to draw the same angle.”
3 minutes: independent work time on the first two problems
“Share your drawing and description with your partner.”
“Discuss how you would explain how to draw the other angles.”
3–5 minutes: partner discussion and work time
Monitor for students who clearly describe turning a hand around the clock and who connect the hands to the rays of the angles.
Student Facing
Andre used the hands of a clock to explain how to draw an angle to his partner.
“Imagine both hands are pointing at the 12. Turn the minute hand so it's pointing at the 3.”
[IMG]
Draw Andre’s angle.
What is another way to describe how to draw the same angle using the clock?
Use Andre’s way to explain how to draw these angles:

Activity Synthesis
“Let’s listen to some different directions for how to draw these angles. As you listen, try to sketch the angle and guess which one they are describing how to draw.”
Invite 2–3 students to share the directions they wrote for drawing one of the angles. Choose students to share in a different order than the angles are presented in the task.
For each, consider asking:
“Which angle did they describe (a, b, or c) and how do you know?”
“What words help you picture how to draw the angle?” (turn right, turn left, point at 4)
“We can describe the size of an angle by explaining how much one ray has turned from the other.”
