Example:
Problem/activity:
You’re mixing ingredients for cookies. The recipe says to combine 6 tablespoons, or ¾ stick, of butter with 1 cup of sugar. You accidentally mix in a whole stick of butter (8 tablespoons) with the cup of sugar. How can you fix this?


Concept/skill: 
Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems, e.g., by reasoning about tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams, double number line diagrams, or equations.

Answer: 
Yes. This problem solves a real-world problem involving mixing ingredients for cookies. A student doing this problem would need to reason about equivalent ratios of butter amounts to sugar amounts.

Now, does the following problem or activity enable students to learn the full intent of the following concept or skill?

standard_description: Describe objects in the environment using names of shapes, and describe the relative positions of these objects using terms such as above, below, beside, in front of, behind, and next to.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to learn stage 1 of the Match Mine center. Students use positional words to describe the location of pattern blocks within a larger shape. Students may initially describe the shapes generally or use positional words other than those introduced in the previous activity. Students need repeated experiences hearing positional words in order to develop precision with their language (MP6).
MLR8 Discussion Supports.
For each description that is shared, invite students to turn to a partner and restate what they heard using precise mathematical language, specifically positional words.
Advances: Listening, Speaking
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Pattern blocks
Launch
Groups of 2
Give students access to pattern blocks.
“We are going to learn a new center called Match Mine. Let’s practice describing a shape together.”
Build a shape with 5 pattern blocks.
“How could we describe where the square is in this shape?” (The square is below the hexagon.)
“How could we describe where the triangle is?” (The triangle is next to the square.)
“One partner will build a shape using 5 pattern blocks. Then they will tell their partner about the shape and their partner tries to make the same shape.”
“Remember to use positional words that will help your partner put each pattern block in the right place.”
“Keep your shapes hidden while you build them. When your partner is done making the shape, check to see if they match.”
“Take turns building and describing shapes with your partner.”
Activity
8 minutes: partner work time
Monitor for students who describe the location of each pattern block using positional words.
Activity Synthesis
Display a shape made up of 5 pattern blocks, including a triangle.
“How would you tell your partner where to put the triangle?”
