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?


Description: 
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, assess whether the following problem or activity aligns with the provided description.

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: Warm-up
The purpose of this warm-up is to remind students that the translation of a line is parallel to the original line, and to plant the seed that a line can be taken to a parallel line by translating it. They inspect several lines to decide which could be translations of a given line. Then they describe the translations by specifying the number of units and the direction the original line should be translated.
Launch
Arrange students in groups of 2. Give students 2 minutes of quiet think time and access to geometry toolkits. Ask them to share their responses with a partner afterwards.
Student Facing
[IMG]
The diagram shows several lines. You can only see part of the lines, but they actually continue forever in both directions.
Which lines are images of line
\(f\)
under a translation?
For each line that is a translation of
\(f\)
, draw an arrow on the grid that shows the vertical translation distance.

Anticipated Misconceptions
Students may think that lines
\(i\)
and
\(h\)
can’t be images of line
\(f\)
because the part of
\(i\)
and
\(h\)
we can see is shorter than the part of
\(f\)
we can see. Tell these students that all of the lines go on indefinitely in both directions.
Activity Synthesis
Invite students to share how they know that lines
\(h\)
and
\(i\)
are translations of
\(f\)
. The main reason to bring out is that they are parallel to
\(f\)
. It might be worth demonstrating with a transparency that we can translate
\(f\)
to match up with
\(h\)
and
\(i\)
, but to match up with the other lines, we would need to rotate (or reflect) the transparency. If using a transparency to demonstrate the number of units to translate
\(f\)
up or down, it is helpful to draw a dot on a specific point on both the underlying graph and on the transparency.
