standard_description: Measure and estimate liquid volumes and masses of objects using standard units of grams (g), kilograms (kg), and liters (l). (Excludes compound units such as cm^(3) and finding the geometric volume of a container.) Add, subtract, multiply, or divide to solve one-step word problems involving masses or volumes that are given in the same units, e.g., by using drawings (such as a beaker with a measurement scale) to represent the problem. [Excludes multiplicative comparison problems (problems involving notions of “times as much”)]
problem_activity: Problem 1
a.   Kyle has 6 Skittles.
$${{1\over3}}$$
of them are red. How many of Kyle's Skittles are red?
b.   Samantha also has 6 Skittles.
$${{2\over3}}$$
of them are red. How many of Samantha’s Skittles are red?
Problem 2
a.   Find the value of each of the following.
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["table", "table-bordered"], "style": "width:40%"}, "tbody": [{"tr": [{"td": [{"p": [{"_attributes": {"style": "margin-left:40px"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$$\\frac{1}{3}$$"}], "_values": ["i.", "of 9"]}]}, {"p": [{"_attributes": {"style": "margin-left:40px"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$$\\frac{2}{3}$$"}], "_values": ["ii.", "of 9"]}]}]}, {"td": [{"p": [{"_attributes": {"style": "margin-left:40px"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$$\\frac{1}{5}$$"}], "_values": ["iii.", "of 10"]}]}, {"p": [{"_attributes": {"style": "margin-left:40px"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$$\\frac{4}{5}$$"}], "_values": ["iv.", "of 10"]}]}]}, {"td": [{"p": [{"_attributes": {"style": "margin-left:40px"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$$\\frac{1}{4}$$"}], "_values": ["v.", "of 12"]}]}, {"p": [{"_attributes": {"style": "margin-left:40px"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$$\\frac{2}{4}$$"}], "_values": ["vi.", "of 12"]}]}]}]}]}]}
b.   What do you notice about the solutions to the computations in the leftmost column of the table? What do you wonder?
c.   What do you notice about the solutions in each row of the table? What do you wonder?
