Example:
Concept/skill: 
Recognize and represent proportional relationships between quantities.

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: 
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.

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

standard_description: Use place value understanding to round whole numbers to the nearest 10 or 100.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this Number Talk is to elicit strategies and understandings students have for subtracting numbers within 1,000. These understandings help students develop fluency and will be helpful as students relate subtraction algorithms to strategies they have used to subtract within 1,000.

Activity Synthesis
“How was place value helpful as you subtracted these numbers?” (When we were subtracting 10, only the tens place changed. For the last expression we were able to subtract the tens, then the ones.)
Consider asking:
“Who can restate _____'s reasoning in a different way?”
“Did anyone have the same strategy but would explain it differently?”
“Did anyone approach the problem in a different way?”
“Does anyone want to add on to _____’s strategy?”
