Part A
A possible problem that represents the addition model shown could be:
"A playground has two grids representing two different areas. The first grid has 10 equal columns, and 5 of those columns are shaded to indicate areas with equipment. The second grid, identical in size, has 100 squares, and 3 of those squares are shaded to indicate areas with seating. How many shaded areas are there in total across both grids?"
