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.

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

standard_description: Count to answer “how many?” questions about as many as 20 things arranged in a line, a rectangular array, or a circle, or as many as 10 things in a scattered configuration; given a number from 1–20, count out that many objects.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this warm-up is for students to experience a new part of the Questions About Us routine. Students consider concepts of number in a familiar context. This warm-up focuses on cardinality, or knowing that the last number tells us how many, and keeping track of which images have been counted. In the activity, students share methods for counting the images. After counting the group of images as a class or inviting a student to demonstrate how to count the images, ask students,  “How many students chose cats?” to confirm that students know that the last number tells us how many.
The images included in the Questions About Us Chart blackline master K.2.B are examples of what to display for the Questions About Us warm-ups in Section B. In order to create a display that will be visible to the whole class, print and cut out enough 5-frames so that there is a square for each student in the class. For example, if there are 23 students in the class, cut out four 5-frames and 3 squares out of a fifth 5-frame. Consider laminating the display and using a dry erase marker to write the two choices and record students' responses. If available, the provided images can also be enlarged.

Activity Synthesis
Count how many students chose cats again. After counting 10 dots, pause and ask, “How many dots have I counted?” and “Which dots have I already counted? Which dots do I still need to count?”
