Problem 1
The table below contains single equations in a single variable, single equations in two variables, and pairs of simultaneous equations in two variables. Check the appropriate box to show whether there is no solution, exactly 1 solution, or if there is an infinite number of solutions.

Problem 2
Kim has a small container and a large container as shown.
[IMG]
It takes 16 of the small containers to fill the large container. Three small containers leave 1.95 gallons of space in the big container.
What is the size of each of the two containers?


Description: 
Prove that, given a system of two equations in two variables, replacing one equation by the sum of that equation and a multiple of the other produces a system with the same solutions.

Answer: 
No. Completing neither of these problems requires replacing one equation by the sum of that equation and a multiple of the other equation.

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

standard_description: Measure the length of an object twice, using length units of different lengths for the two measurements; describe how the two measurements relate to the size of the unit chosen.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to practice adding within 1,000 with an emphasis on adding by place. Throughout the activity, students have opportunities to explain their methods and representations to peers. In the synthesis, students have opportunities to question and critique the work of their peers as they compare different methods for adding three-digit numbers and different representations that show composing units when adding by place (MP3).
This activity uses
MLR8 Discussion Supports
. Advances: conversing
Engagement: Provide Access by Recruiting Interest.
Provide choice. Invite students to decide which problem to start with and the strategy they feel most comfortable solving with.
Supports accessibility for: Social-Emotional Functioning, Organization, Attention
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Base-ten blocks
Launch
Groups of 2
Give students access to base-ten blocks.
Activity
“We are going to practice adding 2 three-digit numbers. You can find the value of each sum in any way that makes sense to you. After some time working independently, you can continue working with a partner.”
MLR8 Discussion Supports
Display sentence frames to support students when they explain their strategy:
“First, I _____ because . . .”
“I noticed _____ so I . . .”
5 minutes: independent work time
4 minutes: partner work time
“Choose one expression and share how you found the value of the sum with a new partner.”
3 minutes: partner discussion
Monitor for students who use base-ten blocks, base-ten diagrams, or other representations that clearly show adding by place.
Student Facing
Find the value of each expression. Show your thinking.
\(384 + 409\)
\(757 + 152\)
\(262 + 438\)
\(575 + 166\)

Advancing Student Thinking
If students lose track of the tens or hundreds they compose (for example,
\(384 + 409 = 783\)
) or do not compose a ten or hundred, prompt students to explain their thinking and any representations they use. Consider asking:
“How does your representation show that you composed a new unit?”
“What could you add to your representation to help you keep track of any tens or hundreds you compose?”
“How could you use base-ten blocks to show your thinking?”
Activity Synthesis
Invite 2–3 previously identified students to share their representations and how they found the value of the sums.
“How are these methods the same? How are they different?”
