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.

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

standard_description: Find all factor pairs for a whole number in the range 1–100. Recognize that a whole number is a multiple of each of its factors. Determine whether a given whole number in the range 1–100 is a multiple of a given one-digit number. Determine whether a given whole number in the range 1–100 is prime or composite.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to practice finding the value of division expressions using any strategy that makes sense to them. They may divide the dividend into equal groups or use the divisor to multiply up to the given dividend. They may choose to represent the division or multiplication with base-ten blocks or by drawing diagrams.
During the synthesis, highlight strategies that rely on place value, properties of operations, and the relationship between multiplication and division (MP7).
Representation: Develop Language and Symbols.
Synthesis: Make connections between representations visible. Elicit from students the connections between the different strategies and representations shared by students.

Activity
“Find the value of each quotient. You can use whatever strategy or representation you prefer.”
8–10 minutes: independent work time
Monitor for a variety of strategies and representations. Identify students to share in the synthesis.
“Share your favorite way to divide with your partner.”
2–3 minutes: partner discussion
Student Facing
Find the value of each quotient. Explain or show your reasoning. Organize it so it can be followed by others.
\(80 \div 5\)
\(68 \div 4\)
\(91 \div 7\)
If you have time: Eighty-four students on a field trip are put into groups. Each group has 14 students. How many groups are there?
