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.

K
options: Interpret a fraction as division of the numerator by the denominator (a/b = a ÷ b). Solve word problems involving division of whole numbers leading to answers in the form of fractions or mixed numbers, e.g., by using visual fraction models or equations to represent the problem. For example, interpret 3/4 as the result of dividing 3 by 4, noting that 3/4 multiplied by 4 equals 3, and that when 3 wholes are shared equally among 4 people each person has a share of size 3/4. If 9 people want to share a 50-pound sack of rice equally by weight, how many pounds of rice should each person get? Between what two whole numbers does your answer lie?

Apply and extend previous understandings of division to divide unit fractions by whole numbers and whole numbers by unit fractions. (Students able to multiply fractions in general can develop strategies to divide fractions in general, by reasoning about the relationship between multiplication and division. But division of a fraction by a fraction is not a requirement at this grade.)

Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a fraction or whole number by a fraction.

Interpret multiplication as scaling (resizing), by:
- Explaining why multiplying a given number by a fraction greater than 1 results in a product greater than the given number (recognizing multiplication by whole numbers greater than 1 as a familiar case); explaining why multiplying a given number by a fraction less than 1 results in a product smaller than the given number; and relating the principle of fraction equivalence a/b = (n×a)/(n×b) to the effect of multiplying a/b by 1.
- Comparing the size of a product to the size of one factor on the basis of the size of the other factor, without performing the indicated multiplication.

Solve real world problems involving multiplication of fractions and mixed numbers, e.g., by using visual fraction models or equations to represent the problem.
problem_activity: Narrative
In this activity, students notice as the divisor increases for a given dividend, the quotient gets smaller. Students may recognize and explain the relationship between multiplication and division. For example, they may notice that dividing one quarter into two equal pieces is the same as finding the product of
\(\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{4}\)
. This relationship is not explicitly brought up in the synthesis, but if students describe this relationship, connect it to the student work that is discussed in the synthesis, as appropriate. When students notice a pattern, they look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning (MP8).
Engagement: Provide Access by Recruiting Interest.
Invite students to share a situation in their own lives that could be used to represent one of the division expressions.

Find the value that makes each equation true. Use a diagram if it is helpful.
\(\frac {1}{4} \div 2 = \underline{\hspace{1 cm}}\)
\(\frac {1}{4} \div 3 = \underline{\hspace{1 cm}}\)
\(\frac {1}{4} \div 4 = \underline{\hspace{1 cm}}\)
What patterns do you notice?
How would you find the value of
\(\frac{1}{4}\)
divided by any whole number? Explain or show your reasoning.

Advancing Student Thinking
If students do not explain how they would find the value of
\(\frac{1}{4}\)
divided by any whole number, prompt them to find the value of
\(\frac{1}{4} \div 5\)
and
\(\frac{1}{4} \div 6\)
and ask, “What is the relationship between the divisor and the quotient?”
Activity Synthesis
Display:
\(\frac {1}{4} \div 2 = \frac {1}{8}\)
\(\frac {1}{4} \div 3 = \frac {1}{12}\)
\(\frac {1}{4} \div 4 = \frac {1}{16}\)
“What patterns do you notice?” (The quotient is getting smaller. The denominator of the quotient is getting bigger. The denominator in the quotient increases by 4. The denominator in the quotient is equal to 4 times the number you are dividing by.)
“Why is the quotient getting smaller?” (Because we are dividing
\(\frac {1}{4}\)
into more pieces each time, so the size of each piece will be smaller.)
