Math CGI

I know I sent home a strange looking math CGI problem the first part is a drawing of a students work he would draw to solve a problem.  I hope this will help on tonight's problem.

Parents are emailing saying this helped, I am glad.

Also one concern was the pictures at the top.

Your child, should be able to tell you the first set of numbers is the two numbers he adds from a problem given to him.  The next set is the way he regrouped to add the two numbers, and the third set is his answer to the two numbers at the beginning.  The arrows is to divide the steps he took to solve the problem given.  I hope this makes sense.

Here is what the problem stated Kash drew a picture of how he solved his story problem. 
Question A (use the first picture)


 States: Write an expression (number sentence) to go with Kash’s thinking.  Explain your thinking.

They are to write a number sentence to go with Kash's picture. (example: 47+ 34= 81), this is not the answer to their problem. I know I should write these numbers with an addition sign because he regrouped them, and made a trade.  We do this when we add.
Question B (use the first picture)

 
Write a story situation to go with Kash’s picture and your number sentence.  Be sure to include a question.

They are to write the story that might have been given to Kash for him to solve.
 example: Kimberly had 47 marbles.  Clara has 34 marbles.  How many marbles do they both have altogether.  

Question C (use the third picture)
What would the number be if we rounded the answer to Kash's problem to the nearest 10? Explain

They are to round the answer to the nearest ten and give a reason why they feel they are correct.
Example:  I know the nearest ten is 80 because if you subtract one it is closer than adding nine more to get to 90.
