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: Find whole-number quotients of whole numbers with up to four-digit dividends and two-digit divisors, using strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to practice using an algorithm that uses partial quotients to divide multi-digit numbers by two-digit divisors. Before finding the quotient, students estimate the value of the quotient which both helps students decide which partial quotients to use and helps them evaluate the reasonableness of their solution (MP8).  For example, if students estimate that the value of
\(529 \div 23\)
is a little more than 20, that means that a good choice for first partial quotient is 20. Whenever possible, ask students to explain the steps they are taking.
To add movement to the activity, after students have solved each problem, they can partner with other students who used different partial quotients or got a different solution. This gives students the opportunity to explain their reasoning to one another and make adjustments to their work, as needed.
MLR7 Compare and Connect.
Synthesis: After all strategies have been presented, lead a discussion comparing, contrasting, and connecting the different approaches. Ask, “What did the approaches have in common?”, “How were they different?” and “Why did the different approaches lead to the same outcome?”.
Advances: Representing, Conversing
Engagement: Develop Effort and Persistence.
Chunk this task into more manageable parts. Check in with students to provide feedback and encouragement after each chunk. Provide feedback on their use of algorithms using partial quotients.

Activity Synthesis
Ask 2–3 students to share their work for the same problem that shows different partial quotients.
“How can you make sure that the whole number quotient you got at the end is reasonable?” (It should be close to my estimate. I can multiply the quotient and divisor and that should give me the dividend.)
If students pair and share with other partners, ask, “How did explaining your work to others help you today?” or “What did someone say today that helped you in your understanding of division?” (I learned that it’s ok to take more steps because I was comfortable with the multiples I used.)
