options: 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.

Number Systems and Quantity: students learn to understand the complex number system and reason quantitatively.

Counting & Cardinality: students learn to know number names and the count sequence, count to tell the number of objects, and compare numbers.

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.

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.

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.

Functions: students learn to define, use, and evaluate functions to model relationships between quantities.

Number & Operations in Base Ten: students learn to work with the base-ten system and build place value understanding.

Ratios & Proportional Relationships: students learn to recognize, describe, represent, and reason with ratios, rates, proportional relationships, and percent.

Number & Operations - Fractions: students learn to understand fractions as numbers and may work with them using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

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.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to represent a number from 1–10 in different ways. Students write the number, use objects to create groups, and draw groups of images. Students use these representations while they take a gallery walk in the next activity. Students use appropriate tools strategically as they choose which objects to use and how to organize them to represent their number (MP5).
Representation: Internalize Comprehension.
Students would benefit from recalling the previous activity where they created a poster. Begin by asking, “Does anyone remember doing a previous activity where you had to create a poster?” Invite students to share what expectations and strategies they used in the prior activity and determine if any of those are applicable in this activity.

Activity Synthesis
“What are some different ways you and your partner showed your number?” (We counted out 5 cubes. We wrote the number 5. We drew groups of 5 images. We showed that it is 1 more than 4 and 1 less than 6.)
