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: 
Analyze and solve pairs of simultaneous linear equations.

Answer: 
Yes. The last three rows of the table in the first problem involves solving pairs of simultaneous linear equations. The second word problem can also be represented as two simultaneous linear equations.

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

8
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: Narrative
In this activity, students identify right triangles. They also explain why certain given shapes are not right triangles. As they determine whether a triangle is a right triangle, students may use the corner of an index card or a piece of paper, use a protractor, or trace an angle in a triangle to compare with an angle elsewhere that they know to be a right angle. In doing so, students practice choosing tools strategically (MP5).
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Index cards
Patty paper
Protractors
Launch
Groups of 2
Provide access to index cards, patty paper, and protractors.
Activity
5 minutes: independent work time
2 minutes: partner discussion
Monitor for students who use tools to check angles and those who estimate them visually. Ask the latter: “How might we check that the angles that look like right angles are
\(90^\circ\)
?”
Student Facing
Identify all shapes that are right triangles. For each right triangle, mark the right angle with a small square.
[IMG]
Explain why the other shapes are not right triangles.

for free access to Student Response.
Advancing Student Thinking
Students may not identify triangles C or D because of the orientation.
Consider asking:
“How can we show that a triangle has a right angle?”
“Where else do you see triangles that may have perpendicular sides?”
“What tools could you use to see if each triangle has any right angles?”
Activity Synthesis
Invite students to share their responses and how they found the right triangles in the set.
“Were there any triangles that appeared to be right triangles but are not, or don’t appear to be right triangles but are?” (Triangle H looks like one but isn’t.)
