Task
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.


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

problem_activity: Warm-up
This warm-up prepares students for the Info Gap activity that follows. First, students brainstorm what information they would need to know to solve a problem that involves constant speed. Then, the teacher demonstrates the process of asking a student why they need a specific piece of information before sharing it with them, in preparation for students following this procedure with their partner in the next activity.
Launch
Give students 1 minutes of quiet think time to brainstorm what information they would need to know to solve the problem, followed by a whole-class discussion demonstrating the procedure for the Info Gap activity.
Student Facing
Consider the problem: A person is running a distance race at a constant rate. What time will they finish the race?
What information would you need to be able to solve the problem?

Activity Synthesis
Ask students:
"What specific information do you need?"
"Why do you need that information?"
Share each piece of information with the class after a student specifically asks for it (and explains why they need to know it).
The race is 10,000 meters long.
The race started at 9:15 a.m.
In 1 minute, the person ran
\(156\frac{1}{4}\)
meters.
An equation relating distance and time is given by
\(d = 156\frac{1}{4} \boldcdot t\)
where
\(d\)
represents distance in meters and
\(t\)
represents time in minutes.
It takes 32 minutes for the person to run 5,000 meters.
The person runs at a pace of 6.4 minutes per kilometer (or 1,000 meters).
After you share each piece of information, ask the class whether they have enough information to be able to solve the problem. When they think they do, give them 2 minutes to solve the problem and then have them share their strategies. (The person should finish the race at 10:19 a.m.)
Tell students that they will be working in groups of two in the next activity and that they will be using the same procedure that you just demonstrated to solve a problem.
