Example:
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: Use facts about supplementary, complementary, vertical, and adjacent angles in a multi-step problem to write and solve simple equations for an unknown angle in a figure.
problem_activity: Activity
The purpose of this activity is for students to match relationships between angles in a figure with equations that can represent those relationships. This prepares students for writing and solving equations that represent relationships between angles in the next lesson. As students explain their reasoning, monitor for students who use the appropriate vocabulary and language (i.e. vertical angles have equal measures, supplementary angles sum to 180 degrees, etc.).
Launch
Keep students in same groups. Give students 2–3 minutes of quiet work time followed by partner and whole-class discussions.
Student Facing
Match each figure to an equation that represents what is seen in the figure. For each match, explain how you know they are a match.

What is the angle between the hour and minute hands of a clock at 3:00?
You might think that the angle between the hour and minute hands at 2:20 is 60 degrees, but it is not! The hour hand has moved beyond the 2. Calculate the angle between the clock hands at 2:20.
Find a time where the hour and minute hand are 40 degrees apart. (Assume that the time has a whole number of minutes.) Is there just one answer?

Activity Synthesis
The goal of this discussion is for students to articulate the angle relationships they noticed in each figure and equation. Display the figures for all to see. Select previously identified students to share their explanations for each figure. If not mentioned in students’ explanations be sure that students see the vertical, supplementary, straight, and right angle relationships in the figures.
