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
In this activity, the dots are distributed uniformly in the first square but not in the second square:
[IMG]
However, these dots are drawn so it is not too hard to see that if they were redistributed, each square inch would have 8 dots:
[IMG]
The fact that we have 8 dots per square inch means that if we distributed the dots uniformly throughout the square in the right way, we would see 8 dots in each square inch. This prepares students to be able to interpret the constant of proportionality in the next two activities when working with actual houses per square mile or people per square kilometer. When we speak of “500 houses per square kilometer,” we can think of this as, “If we took all of the houses in the region and spread them out uniformly, then we would see 500 houses in every square kilometer.”

Display the image of the two squares with dots. Ask students to describe what is the same and what is different about these squares.
Give students 2–3 minutes of quiet work time, followed by 4–5 minutes of partner work time and whole-class discussion.
Action and Expression: Internalize Executive Functions.
Chunk this task into more manageable parts to support students who benefit from support with organizational skills in problem solving. For example, pause to check for understanding after the first 2–3 minutes of work time.
Supports accessibility for: Organization; Attention
Writing, Conversing: MLR5 Co-craft Questions.
Display only the image of the four dot arrays without revealing any of the questions that follow. Give students 1–2 minutes to write a list of possible mathematical questions they could ask about the arrays. Invite students to share their questions with a partner, and then select 2–3 students to share their questions with the whole class. Highlight any questions that refer to how dots are “distributed,” even if students do not use that particular phrase. Finally, reveal the whole problem with text so that students may begin addressing the questions. This helps amplify language related to the distribution of dots.

The figure shows two arrays, each enclosed by a square that is 2 inches wide.
[IMG]
Let
\(a\)
be the area of the square and
\(d\)
be the number of dots enclosed by the square. For each square, plot a point that represents its values of
\(a\)
and
\(d\)
. Start by choosing an appropriate scale for each axis, using the sliders to adjust the intervals.
Draw lines from
\((0, 0)\)
to each point. For each line, write an equation that represents the proportional relationship.
What is the constant of proportionality for each relationship? What do the constants of proportionality tell us about the dots and squares?

Activity Synthesis
The goal of this discussion is for students to make sense of the constant of proportionality in the case where the dots are not uniformly distributed. Invite students to share their interpretations of the constants of proportionality.
Consider asking questions like:
“Why is one of the constants of proportionality larger than the other? How can we see this in the picture of the squares?” (There are more dots in the same area.)
“What are the units of the constants of proportionality?” (The number of dots per square inch).
Students will have more opportunities to think about this when working on the activities that follow.
