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.

problem_activity: Activity
The purpose of this task is for students to develop their understanding of the
\(|x|\)
notation in familiar contexts. They should build their understanding that
\(|x|\)
represents the distance from zero to
\(x\)
and that
\(|\text-x|\)
and
\(|x|\)
are equal.
Launch
Allow students 10 minutes quiet work time followed by whole-class discussion.

A part of the city of New Orleans is 6 feet below sea level. We can use “-6 feet” to describe its elevation, and “
\(|\text-6|\)
feet” to describe its vertical distance from sea level. In the context of elevation, what would each of the following numbers describe?
25 feet
\(|25|\)
feet
-8 feet
\(|\text-8|\)
feet
The elevation of a city is different from sea level by 10 feet. Name the two elevations that the city could have.
We write “
\(\text-5^\circ \text{C}\)
” to describe a temperature that is 5 degrees Celsius below freezing point and “
\(5^\circ \text{C}\)
” for a temperature that is 5 degrees above freezing. In this context, what do each of the following numbers describe?
\(1^\circ \text{C}\)
\(\text-4^\circ \text{C}\)
\(|12|^\circ \text{C}\)
\(|\text-7|^\circ \text{C}\)
Which temperature is colder:
\(\text-6^\circ \text{C}\)
or
\(3^\circ \text{C}\)
?
Which temperature is closer to freezing temperature:
\(\text-6^\circ \text{C}\)
or
\(3^\circ \text{C}\)
?
Which temperature has a smaller absolute value? Explain how you know.

Representation: Develop Language and Symbols.
Create a display of important terms and vocabulary. Invite students to suggest language or diagrams to include that will support their understanding of: absolute value of a number, elevation, sea level, less than, greater than.
Supports accessibility for: Conceptual processing; Language; Memory
Representing, Speaking: MLR7 Compare and Connect
. To help students connect the numerical values with the diagram in the activity synthesis, provide students phrases that also connect to the situation (e.g., “4 feet below sea level,” “15 feet from sea level,” “4 feet from sea level,” and “15 feet above sea level”). Emphasize the language needed to say what the numerical values mean and how those values connect to the diagram and the phrases.
