Concept/skill: 
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.

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?


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, determine whether the following problem or activity can enable students to understand the concepts or skills in the provided description.

standard_description: Fluently add and subtract within 100 using strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to use their understanding of place value to determine the number described in a riddle. Students then write the number of hundreds, tens, and ones, and represent the value as a three-digit number.
MLR8 Discussion Supports.
Display sentence frames to support partner discussion about each number written on the table: “I agree because . . .” or “I disagree because . . . .”
Advances: Conversing
Engagement: Provide Access by Recruiting Interest.
Provide choice. Invite students to decide the order in which they complete the work. They can start with any of the riddles, as long as they complete all of them.

Activity
“You are going to solve number riddles using base-ten blocks.”
As needed, demonstrate the task with a student.
“Take turns reading the clues, while your partner uses blocks to make the number.”
“Make sure you agree before adding each number to the table.”
10 minutes: partner work time
If students finish early, ask them to write their own riddles and trade them with other groups to solve.
Monitor for students who recognize they need a zero when writing the three-digit number in places where there were no tens or no ones.
Student Facing
Solve each riddle and write the three-digit number. Use the table to help you organize the digits.
| riddle | hundreds | tens | ones | three-digit number |
|--------|----------|------|------|--------------------|
|   1    |          |      |      |                    |
|   2    |          |      |      |                    |
|   3    |          |      |      |                    |
|   4    |          |      |      |                    |
|   5    |          |      |      |                    |
|   6    |          |      |      |                    |
I have 2 ones, 7 tens, and 6 hundreds.
