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: Construct a function to model a linear relationship between two quantities. Determine the rate of change and initial value of the function from a description of a relationship or from two (x, y) values, including reading these from a table or from a graph. Interpret the rate of change and initial value of a linear function in terms of the situation it models, and in terms of its graph or a table of values.
problem_activity: Suppose Brett and Andre each throw a baseball into the air. The height of Brett's baseball is given by
$${h(t)=-16t^2+79t+6}$$
where
$$h$$
is in feet and
$$t$$
is in seconds. The height of Andre's baseball is given by the graph below.
[IMG]
Brett claims that his baseball went higher than Andre’s, and Andre says that his baseball went higher.
Who is right?
How long is each baseball airborne?
Construct a graph of the height of Brett’s throw as a function of time on the same set of axes as the graph of Andre’s throw, and explain how this can confirm your claims to parts (a) and (b).
