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:
B

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

options: Use variables to represent quantities in a real-world or mathematical problem, and construct simple equations and inequalities to solve problems by reasoning about the quantities.

Solve multi-step real-life and mathematical problems posed with positive and negative rational numbers in any form (whole numbers, fractions, and decimals), using tools strategically. Apply properties of operations to calculate with numbers in any form; convert between forms as appropriate; and assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies. For example: If a woman making $25 an hour gets a 10% raise, she will make an additional 1/10 of her salary an hour, or $2.50, for a new salary of $27.50. If you want to place a towel bar 9 3/4 inches long in the center of a door that is 27 1/2 inches wide, you will need to place the bar about 9 inches from each edge; this estimate can be used as a check on the exact computation.
problem_activity: Warm-up
The purpose of this warm-up is to reactivate students’ understanding of tape diagrams to make it more likely that tape diagrams are accessible as a tool for them to choose in this lesson. The diagram was deliberately constructed to encourage some students to write an equation like
\(24=3(a+2)\)
and others like
\(24=3a+6\)
. Monitor for one student who writes each type of equation.
Launch
Arrange students in groups of 2. Give 5 minutes of quiet think time and time to share their work with a partner followed by a whole-class discussion.

Activity Synthesis
After students have had a chance to share their work with their partner, select a few students to share their stories. Then, select one student to share each type of equation and explain its structure:
\(3(a+2)=24\)
and
\(3a+6=24\)
.
