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: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to find the value of quotients where the divisor is less than 1 and where the dividend is large enough that drawing a complete diagram is cumbersome. Instead, students are encouraged to use a diagram to find
how many divisor sized groups are in 1 whole and then multiply the dividend by that number to find the value of the quotient. When students use the value of
\(1 \div 0.2\)
and multiplication to find the value of
\(12 \div 0.2\)
they are using regularity in reasoning (MP8).
This activity uses
MLR1 Stronger and Clearer Each Time.
Advances: Conversing.
Action and Expression: Internalize Executive Functions.
Invite students to plan a strategy, including the tools they will use, for finding the value of the expression. If time allows, invite students to share their plan with a partner before they begin.

3–5 minutes: independent work time
Monitor for students who use the following strategies for problem 1:
reason about how many divisor-sized groups are in 1 whole, possibly with a diagram, and then multiply by the dividend
use multiplication equations to find the value of the division expressions

Advancing Student Thinking
If a student is not sure how to explain Tyler’s reasoning in problem 2, ask them to read the expression to you and record the words they use. Then ask them how those words relate to the words Tyler used.
Activity Synthesis
Ask previously identified students to share their solutions and strategies for evaluating the expression in the first problem.
“How was multiplication useful to find the value of the expression in the first problem?” (I didn't have to draw 12 wholes because I knew there were five 0.2s in each one so that would be
\(12 \times 5\)
total.)
