 Narrative
 The first partner spins to get a group of coins. They write a question that compares the amount they spun to a different group of coins that they make up.

Concept/skill: 
Solve word problems involving dollar bills, quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies, using $ and ¬¢ symbols appropriately. Example: If you have 2 dimes and 3 pennies, how many cents do you have?

Answer: 
Yes. In this activity, students write word problems that compare coin amounts.

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

standard_description: For a function that models a relationship between two quantities, interpret key features of graphs and tables in terms of the quantities, and sketch graphs showing key features given a verbal description of the relationship. Key features include: intercepts; intervals where the function is increasing, decreasing, positive, or negative; relative maximums and minimums; symmetries; end behavior; and periodicity.
problem_activity: Task
An important example of a model often used in biology or ecology to model
population growth is called the logistic growth model.  The general
form of the logistic equation is
$$
P(t) = \frac{KP_0e^{rt}}{K+P_0(e^{rt}-1)}.
$$
In this equation $t$ represents time, with $t = 0$ corresponding to when the population in question is first measured; $K,P_0$  and $r$ are all real numbers
with $K$ being called the ''carrying capacity'' while $r$ is a growth rate and
is normally a positive number.
Explain why the value $P_0$ represents
the  population when it is first measured.
Explain why, as time elapses, the population stabilizes, approaching the value $K$.
Explain how the behavior of $P$ changes if the growth rate $r$ is increased or decreased.
Below is the graph of a particular logistic function $P$, showing the growth of a
bacteria population.  Using the graph, identify $P_0$ and  $K$.
[IMG]
Using the values of $P_0$ and $K$ from the previous part, sketch the graph of the logistic function $Q$ given by
$$
Q(t) =  \frac{KP_0e^{2rt}}{K+P_0(e^{2rt}-1)}.
$$
Note that $Q$ is the same as $P$ except that the growth rate $r$ has been doubled.
