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.

problem_activity: Activity
This activity is designed to give students opportunities to use their understandings from this unit to perform mathematical modeling.
The trail mix context is familiar from the previous activity, but students are challenged to choose quantities, determine how to represent them, interpret and reason about them, and use the model they create to make choices. It also enables students to reflect on their model and revise it as needed (MP4).
Students are likely to want to use graphing technology, as the nutritional information involves decimals and the inequalities written would be inconvenient to graph by hand. This is an opportunity for students to choose tools strategically (MP5).
No time estimate is given here because the time would depend on decisions about the research students do and on the expectations for collaboration and presentation.
Launch
Arrange students in groups of 2–4. Provide access to Desmos or other graphing technology.
Explain the expectations for researching nutritional values, for collaboration with group members, and for presentation of student work. (If each group is presenting one response, provide each group with tools for creating a visual display. If each student is presenting a response, give each student tools for creating a visual display.)
Engagement: Develop Effort and Persistence.
Provide prompts, reminders, guides, rubrics, or checklists that focus on increasing the length of on-task orientation in the face of distractions. For each question, allot a specific amount of work time and display expectations. Display a countdown timer, along with a bulleted list of what teams or individuals are to produce to complete a given step. For instance, during question 1, display a 5 minute countdown timer and the list: “You’re finished if you. . . (1) Have your two ingredients (2) Have the nutrition information ready.”
Supports accessibility for: Attention; Social-emotional skills
Student Facing
It's time to design your own trail mix!
Choose two ingredients that you like to eat. (You can choose from the ingredients in the previous activity, or you can look up nutrition information for other ingredients.)
Think about the constraints for your trail mix. What do you want to be true about its calories, protein, sugar, fat, or fiber?
Write inequalities to represent your constraints. Then, graph the inequalities.
[IMG]
Is it possible to make trail mix that meets all your constraints using your ingredients? If not, make changes to your constraints or your ingredients and record them here.
Write a possible combination of ingredients for your trail mix.
Pause here so your teacher can review your work and give further instructions for displaying your work.

Activity Synthesis
Select groups to share their visual displays. Encourage students to ask questions about the mathematical thinking or design approach that went into creating the display. Here are questions for discussion, if not already mentioned by students:
What constraints did every group use?
How do the graphs of the various mixes compare?
Did anyone have to revise or change their model in order to come up with a solution they could use?
How did you use the graph to choose a recipe for your mix?
Representing, Conversing: MLR7 Compare and Connect.
Use this routine to prepare students for the whole-class discussion. At the appropriate time, invite groups to create a visual display of their work. Students should consider what types of details (annotations, notes, diagrams, arrows, etc.) to include on their displays that will help communicate their reasoning. Begin the whole-class discussion by selecting and arranging 2–4 displays for all to see. Give students 2–3 minutes of quiet think time to interpret the displays before inviting the authors to present their work.
Design Principle(s): Optimize output; Cultivate conversation
