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.


Topic options: 
A. Counting & Cardinality: students learn to know number names and the count sequence, count to tell the number of objects, and compare numbers.
B. 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.
C. 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.
D. 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.
E. Ratios & Proportional Relationships: students learn to recognize, describe, represent, and reason with ratios, rates, proportional relationships, and percent.
F. Functions: students learn to define, use, and evaluate functions to model relationships between quantities.
G. 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.
H. Number Systems and Quantity: students learn to understand the complex number system and reason quantitatively.
I. Number & Operations in Base Ten: students learn to work with the base-ten system and build place value understanding.
J. 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.
K. Number & Operations - Fractions: students learn to understand fractions as numbers and may work with them using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

problem_activity: Activity
The purpose of this task is for students to develop their understanding of the
\(|x|\)
notation in familiar contexts. They should build their understanding that
\(|x|\)
represents the distance from zero to
\(x\)
and that
\(|\text-x|\)
and
\(|x|\)
are equal.
Launch
Allow students 10 minutes quiet work time followed by whole-class discussion.
Student Facing
A part of the city of New Orleans is 6 feet below sea level. We can use “-6 feet” to describe its elevation, and “
\(|\text-6|\)
feet” to describe its vertical distance from sea level. In the context of elevation, what would each of the following numbers describe?
25 feet
\(|25|\)
feet
-8 feet
\(|\text-8|\)
feet
The elevation of a city is different from sea level by 10 feet. Name the two elevations that the city could have.
We write “
\(\text-5^\circ \text{C}\)
” to describe a temperature that is 5 degrees Celsius below freezing point and “
\(5^\circ \text{C}\)
” for a temperature that is 5 degrees above freezing. In this context, what do each of the following numbers describe?
\(1^\circ \text{C}\)
\(\text-4^\circ \text{C}\)
\(|12|^\circ \text{C}\)
\(|\text-7|^\circ \text{C}\)
Which temperature is colder:
\(\text-6^\circ \text{C}\)
or
\(3^\circ \text{C}\)
?
Which temperature is closer to freezing temperature:
\(\text-6^\circ \text{C}\)
or
\(3^\circ \text{C}\)
?
Which temperature has a smaller absolute value? Explain how you know.

Are you ready for more?
At a certain time, the difference between the temperature in New York City and in Boston was 7 degrees Celsius. The difference between the temperature in Boston and in Chicago was also 7 degrees Celsius. Was the temperature in New York City the same as the temperature in Chicago? Explain your answer.

Activity Synthesis
To summarize students’ work, consider displaying the following diagram and these four expressions. Give students a minute to study the diagram and match each letter on the diagram to an appropriate expression.
-4 feet
\(|{15}|\)
feet
\(|{\text -4}|\)
feet
15 feet

Representation: Develop Language and Symbols.
Create a display of important terms and vocabulary. Invite students to suggest language or diagrams to include that will support their understanding of: absolute value of a number, elevation, sea level, less than, greater than.
Supports accessibility for: Conceptual processing; Language; Memory
Representing, Speaking: MLR7 Compare and Connect
. To help students connect the numerical values with the diagram in the activity synthesis, provide students phrases that also connect to the situation (e.g., “4 feet below sea level,” “15 feet from sea level,” “4 feet from sea level,” and “15 feet above sea level”). Emphasize the language needed to say what the numerical values mean and how those values connect to the diagram and the phrases.
Design Principle(s): Maximize meta-awareness
