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: 
Recognize and represent proportional relationships between quantities.

Answer: 
No. Usually problems that teach recognizing and representing proportional relationships between quantities involve deciding whether two quantities are in a proportional relationship or identifying the constant of proportionality, and then representing proportional relationships by equations or explaining proportional relationship using coordinate graphs.

standard_description: Solve quadratic equations with real coefficients that have complex solutions.
problem_activity: Problem 1
A quadratic equation is shown below.
$${x^2=(2x-9)^2}$$
a.  Solve this equation by expanding and then factoring.
b.  Solve this equation by taking the square root of each side.
Problem 2
A physics teacher put a ball at the top of a ramp and let it roll down toward the floor. The class determined that the height of the ball could be represented by the equation
$${h=-16t^2+4}$$
, where the height,
$$h$$
, is measured in feet from the ground and time,
$$t$$
, is measured in seconds.
