 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: Tell and write time from analog and digital clocks to the nearest five minutes, using a.m. and p.m.
problem_activity: Optional activity
The purpose of this optional activity is to practice using a proportional relationship in another context. The chosen numbers make the unit rate a useful tool to answer the questions.
Launch
Remind students of the value of a quarter and a dime.
Student Facing
4 quarters are equal in value to 10 dimes.
How many dimes equal the value of 6 quarters?
How many dimes equal the value of 14 quarters?
What value belongs next to the 1 in the table? What does it mean in this context?
| number of                         quarters | number of                         dimes |
|--------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------|

Are you ready for more?
Pennies made before 1982 are 95% copper and weigh about 3.11 grams each. (Pennies made after that date are primarily made of zinc). Some people claim that the value of the copper in one of these pennies is greater than the face value of the penny. Find out how much copper is worth right now, and decide if this claim is true.

Activity Synthesis
Ask students for the value that belongs next to the 1 in the table. Invite several students to explain the significance of this number.
Speaking: MLR8 Discussion Supports.
To provide a support students in precision of language when describing proportional relationships from a table, provide sentence frames for students to use, such as: “_____ is equal in value to _____, because . . . .”
