Problem/activity:
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.


Standard options: 
A. Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings (Drawings need not show details, but should show the mathematics in the problem. (This applies wherever drawings are mentioned in the Standards.)), sounds (e.g., claps), acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations.
B. For any number from 1 to 9, find the number that makes 10 when added to the given number, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record the answer with a drawing or equation.
C. Decompose numbers less than or equal to 10 into pairs in more than one way, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record each decomposition by a drawing or equation (e.g., 5 = 2 + 3 and 5 = 4 + 1).
D. Solve addition and subtraction word problems, and add and subtract within 10, e.g., by using objects or drawings to represent the problem.
E. Fluently add and subtract within 5.

Standard options: 
A. Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving the four operations with rational numbers. (Computations with rational numbers extend the rules for manipulating fractions to complex fractions.)

Standard options:

options: Choose trigonometric functions to model periodic phenomena with specified amplitude, frequency, and midline.

Understand that restricting a trigonometric function to a domain on which it is always increasing or always decreasing allows its inverse to be constructed.

Use inverse functions to solve trigonometric equations that arise in modeling contexts; evaluate the solutions using technology, and interpret them in terms of the context.
problem_activity: Activity
The purpose of this task is for students to use the coordinates of a unit circle to determine information about coordinates on circles of different sizes. Returning to the context of clock hands, this activity focuses on the location of the end of a minute hand relative to the center of the clock.
While there are 3 different clock sizes in this activity, students taking advantage of the similarity between the circles (MP7) can use their solutions for the first clock to identify the solutions for the second clock that is 3 times the size of the first.
Monitor for students who express their answers using:
approximate values based on the unit circle display
exact values using
\(\cos(\theta)\)
and
\(\sin(\theta)\)
Launch
If needed, provide students with copies of separate clock faces.

The length of the minute hand on a clock is 5 inches and the center of the clock is at
\((0,0)\)
on a coordinate plane. Determine the coordinates of the end of the minute hand at the following times. Explain or show your reasoning.
45 minutes after the hour
10 minutes after the hour
40 minutes after the hour
The minute hand on another clock, also centered at

, has a length of 15 inches. Determine the coordinates of the end of the minute hand at the following times. Explain or show your reasoning.
45 minutes after the hour
10 minutes after the hour
40 minutes after the hour
At a certain time, the end of the minute hand of a third clock centered at

\((7.5,7.5)\)
. How long is the minute hand of the clock if each grid square is one inch by one inch? Explain or show your reasoning.

Activity Synthesis
Select students to share their strategies for identifying the coordinates on the clocks with a minute hand of length 5 inches and 15 inches in the order listed in the Activity Narrative. If no students wrote their answers using exact values, such as
\(\left(5\cos\left(\frac \pi 6\right), 5\sin\left(\frac \pi 6\right)\right)\)
for the 5 inch minute hand 10 minutes after the hour, ask students to consider how they could write the exact coordinates. After a brief quiet think time, invite students to share their thinking, highlighting any callbacks to their previous work identifying exact values by using cosine and sine without approximating. If needed, here are some questions for discussion:
“What angle does the minute hand make, with the positive
\(x\)
-axis, at 10 minutes after the hour?” (
\(\frac \pi 6\)
radians.)
“If the minute hand was 1 foot long, could you use sine and cosine to express the coordinates of its tip?” (The coordinates, in feet, are
\(\left(\cos\left(\frac \pi 6\right), \sin\left(\frac \pi 6\right)\right)\)
.)
“What about when the minute hand is 5 inches long? 15 inches long?” (The coordinates, in inches, are
\(\left(5\cos\left(\frac \pi 6\right), 5\sin\left(\frac \pi 6\right)\right)\)
and
\(\left(15\cos\left(\frac \pi 6\right),1 5\sin\left(\frac \pi 6\right)\right)\)
.)
Conclude the discussion by selecting students to share how they calculated the length of the minute hand when the coordinates of the end of the minute hand are known. Make sure to highlight these strategies by inviting students to consider each and share a reason why they prefer one over the other:
use the Pythagorean Theorem
recognize the angle as
\(\frac{\pi}{4}\)
radians due to the
\(x\)
- and
\(y\)
-coordinates matching
Representation: Internalize Comprehension.
Use color and annotations to illustrate student thinking. As students share their strategies for identifying the coordinates on the clocks, scribe their thinking on a visual display. Highlight the exact coordinates (expressions using cosine and sine) and the approximate coordinates in the same color. Use annotation to draw attention to the scale factors of 5 and 15 in the expressions.
