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: 
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: 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?
problem_activity: Narrative
In this activity, students solve addition problems using money based on the Pattern Block Puzzles they sketched in the last activity.
The launch of the activity is an opportunity for students to reason which of the two designs will cost more before they complete any computations.
MLR7 Compare and Connect.
Synthesis: After all strategies have been presented, lead a discussion comparing, contrasting, and connecting the different approaches. Ask, “Did anyone solve the problem the same way, but would explain it differently?”, “What did the representations have in common?”, “How were they different?”
Advances: Representing, Conversing
Launch
Groups of 2
“At the Pattern Block Store, each pattern block shape has a different price.”
Display the price list.
“Which of the two puzzles that you sketched do you think will cost more to make? Puzzle 1 or 2?”
30 seconds: quiet think time
1 minute: partner discussion
Share responses.
Activity
“Use the price list to figure out how much your two puzzles would cost.”
5 minutes: independent work time
5 minutes: partner discussion
As students work, look for different addition strategies. Monitor for students who:
add like quantities first
add bigger or smaller coins first
add some coins mentally
