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: Optional activity
This is the second of two optional activities in which students explore pH ratings as an application of logarithmic functions. In the first activity, students noticed a pattern in the concentration of positive hydrogen ions to pH ratings and described it informally. In this activity, they represent the relationship with an equation, test it, and use it to solve problems.
Monitor for how students approach the third question. Some students may pay attention only to the exponent -11 in
\(5.6 \times 10^{\text-11}\)
and disregard the 5.6. Identify students who recognize that the pH scale is the base 10 logarithm of whatever number or expression represents the hydrogen ion concentration, not just the part expressed in the power of 10.
Launch
Ask students to look at the table in this activity and the one in the previous activity. Briefly discuss how they are alike and different, and whether the table still shows the same relationship between hydrogen ion concentration and pH, as in the previous task. Make sure students see that the relationship hasn’t changed and that the hydrogen ion concentrations can be written as powers of 10.
Representation: Internalize Comprehension.
Use color coding and annotations to highlight connections between representations in a problem. For example, invite students to write the scientific notation form of the number next to the number itself on the table. Students may choose to color code or draw arrows to brainstorm their interpretation of the connection between this column and the pH output. For example, students may draw an arrow from the exponent to the pH and write “opposite.”

Write an equation to represent the pH rating,
\(p\)
, in terms of the hydrogen ion concentration
\(h\)
, in moles per liter.
Test your equation by using the hydrogen ion concentration of a substance from the table as the input. Does it produce the right pH rating as the output? If not, revise your equation and test it again.
Magnesium hydroxide (also called “milk of magnesia”) is a medication used to treat stomach indigestion. It has a hydrogen concentration
\(5.6 \times 10^{\text-11}\)
mole per liter. Estimate a pH rating for magnesium hydroxide. Explain or show your reasoning.
As shown in the table, apple has a pH of 3 and milk has a pH of 6. How many times more acidic is the apple than milk?

Anticipated Misconceptions
Students may struggle writing an equation that relates the hydrogen ion concentration to the pH. Refer them back to the previous activity where they noticed a relationship by writing the hydrogen ion concentration using an exponential expression rather than a decimal.
Activity Synthesis
Invite students to share how they constructed the equation in the first question. Ensure that they see pH rating as a negative base 10 logarithm function.
Focus the discussion on the third question. Help students see that the pH scale of milk of magnesia is
\(\text- \log 5.6 \times 10^{\text-11}\)
. This log value can be computed with a calculator, but it can also be estimated. For example, we know that
\(\text- \log 10^{\text-11}\)
is 11 and
\(\text- \log 10^{\text-10}\)
is 10, and that a hydrogen concentration in the amount of the latter is 10 times that of the former. Because the hydrogen ion concentration of milk of magnesia is 5.6 times, not quite 10 times,
\(10^{\text-11}\)
, its pH is between 10 and 11.
Speaking, Representing: MLR8 Discussion Supports.
Use this routine to support whole-class discussion. After each student shares their response to the first question, provide the class with the following sentence frames to help them respond: "I agree because . . .” or "I disagree because . . . .” If necessary, revoice student ideas to demonstrate mathematical language use by restating a statement as a question in order to clarify, apply appropriate language, and involve more students. For example, a statement such as, “The equation is a log” can be restated as a question such as, “Does the equation showing the relationship between hydrogen ion concentrations and pH ratings represent a logarithmic function?” This will help students solidify their understanding that pH rating is a negative base 10 logarithm function.
