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: 
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.

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 and division and of fractions to multiply and divide rational numbers.

Answer: 
Yes. This problem involves understanding fractions and division to divide rational numbers, such as 1, -4, 4, and -1. This problem also involves an understanding of multiplication: if p and q are integers, then -(p/q) = (-p)/q = p/(-q).

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.

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.

problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to learn stage 3 of the Shake and Spill center. Students practice counting to find the total of 2 groups of objects and representing addition with an expression.
After they participate in the center, students choose from any stage of previously introduced centers.

Shake and Spill Stage 3 Recording Sheet Kindergarten
Required Preparation
Each group of 2 needs 10 two-color counters.
Each group of 2 needs access to a yellow crayon and a red crayon.
Gather materials from:
Number Race, Stage 1
Math Stories, Stages 1 and 2
Launch
Groups of 2
Give each group of students two-color counters and red and yellow crayons. Give each student a recording sheet.
“We are going to learn a new way to play Shake and Spill. One partner will choose some counters, shake them, and spill them. Then draw a picture to show the red and yellow counters. Work together to figure out how to fill in an expression to show how many red and yellow counters. Take turns shaking and spilling the counters.”
Activity
8 minutes: partner work time
“Now you can choose another center. You can also continue playing Shake and Spill.”
Display the center choices in the student book.
Invite students to work at the center of their choice.
10 minutes: center work time
If time, invite students to choose another center.
