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: Know and apply the Remainder Theorem: For a polynomial p(x) and a number a, the remainder on division by x – a is p(a), so p(a) = 0 if and only if (x – a) is a factor of p(x).
problem_activity: Stage 2: Subtract 1 or 2
Required Preparation
Materials to Gather
Number cards 0–10
Two-color counters
Materials to Copy
Blackline Masters
Five in a Row Addition and Subtraction Stages 1 and 2 Gameboard

Narrative
Students choose a number card 0-10 and choose to subtract 1 or 2 from the number on their card and then place their counter on the difference.
Variation:
Students can choose to add or subtract 1 or 2.
Additional Information
Each group of 2 needs 25 counters.
