Example 1:
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: 
Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems, e.g., by reasoning about tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams, double number line diagrams, or equations.

Answer: 
Yes. This problem solves a real-world problem involving mixing ingredients for cookies. A student doing this problem would need to reason about equivalent ratios of butter amounts to sugar amounts.

Example 2:
Problem/activity:
For each pair of numbers, determine if the values are equivalent. Explain your reasoning for each one.
a.
$$-0.25$$
and
$$\frac{1}{-4}$$
b.
$$-\left ( \frac{1}{4} \right )$$
and
$$\frac{-1}{-4}$$
c.
$$\frac{-1}{4}$$
and
$$-\frac{1}{4}$$


Description: 
Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a fraction or whole number by a fraction.

Answer: 
No. The expressions shown in this problem do not involve multiplying fractions with other fractions, nor whole numbers with fractions.

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.

standard_description: Add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency for addition and subtraction within 10. Use strategies such as counting on; making ten (e.g., 8 + 6 = 8 + 2 + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14); decomposing a number leading to a ten (e.g., 13 – 4 = 13 – 3 – 1 = 10 – 1 = 9); using the relationship between addition and subtraction (e.g., knowing that 8 + 4 = 12, one knows 12 – 8 = 4); and creating equivalent but easier or known sums (e.g., adding 6 + 7 by creating the known equivalent 6 + 6 + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13).
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to revisit stage 3 of the Shake and Spill center, introduced in kindergarten. In this stage, students see a quantity broken into two parts in different ways. Student write equations to represent each decomposition. Students may write an equation in any way they choose, but the number of counters is presented first to encourage students to write the total before the equal sign. This activity builds toward a future lesson in which students solve Put Together/Take Apart, Addend Unknown story problems and write equations to match them.
During this activity, the teacher collects and displays different equations that students write for the first round. This includes equations where the total is before the equal sign, such as
\(9 = 7 + 2\)
. During the synthesis, students are encouraged to think about how an equation with the total before the equal sign relates back to the context of playing the game (MP2).

Materials to Gather
Cups
Two-color counters
Materials to Copy
Shake and Spill Stage 3 Recording Sheet Grade 1
Required Preparation
Each group of 2 needs 10 two-color counters and a cup (at least 8 oz).
Launch
Groups of 2
Give each group a cup, 10 two-color counters, and recording sheets.
"Today we will revisit a game you played in kindergarten called Shake and Spill. Let's play one round together to make sure everyone remembers how to play."
Display two-color counters and the cup.
“I have some two-color counters. Let’s count them together.”
Place counters in the cup as you count aloud.
“I’m going to write 6 under Total Number of Counters."
Demonstrate shaking and spilling the counters.
"How many red counters are there? How many yellow counters are there?”
30 seconds: quiet think time
Record responses in the table.
“What equation can we write to match the counters?” (
\(4 + 2 = 6\)
,
\(6 = 4 + 2\)
,
\(2 + 4 = 6, 6 = 2 + 4\)
)
30 seconds: quiet think time
30 seconds: partner discussion
Share and record responses.
If needed, play another round.
Activity
“Play the game with your partner. For the first game, you will use 9 counters and record in your book. After the first game, you may choose the number of counters that you want to use, and record on the separate recording sheet.”
10 minutes: partner work time
If needed, ask “Is there another equation you can write to show this round?”
Monitor for and collect 5–6 combinations and equations from round 1.

Activity Synthesis
Display collected combinations and equations.
“What do you notice about the equations I collected during the first round?” (There are different numbers in the equations. They all equal nine. Sometimes the total is before the equation and sometimes it is after.)
“What does the equation
\(9 = 7 + 2\)
mean?” (The nine counter total is the same amount as seven red counters and two yellow counters or seven yellow and two red.)
