Example 1:
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.

Example 2:
Concept/skill: 
Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a fraction or whole number by a fraction.

Problem/activity:
For each pair of numbers, determine if the values are equivalent. Explain your reasoning for each one.
a.
$$-0.25$$
and
$$\frac{1}{-4}$$
b.
$$-\left ( \frac{1}{4} \right )$$
and
$$\frac{-1}{-4}$$
c.
$$\frac{-1}{4}$$
and
$$-\frac{1}{4}$$


Answer: 
No. The expressions shown in this problem do not involve multiplying fractions with other fractions, nor whole numbers with fractions.

Example 3:
Concept/skill: 
Prove that, given a system of two equations in two variables, replacing one equation by the sum of that equation and a multiple of the other produces a system with the same solutions.

Problem/activity:
Problem 1
The table below contains single equations in a single variable, single equations in two variables, and pairs of simultaneous equations in two variables. Check the appropriate box to show whether there is no solution, exactly 1 solution, or if there is an infinite number of solutions.

Problem 2
Kim has a small container and a large container as shown.
[IMG]
It takes 16 of the small containers to fill the large container. Three small containers leave 1.95 gallons of space in the big container.
What is the size of each of the two containers?


Answer: 
No. Completing neither of these problems requires replacing one equation by the sum of that equation and a multiple of the other equation.

standard_description: Count forward beginning from a given number within the known sequence (instead of having to begin at 1).
problem_activity: Activity
The purpose of this activity is for students to apply the formula for area of a circle to solve a problem in context. The diameter of the circle is given, so students must first determine the radius.
Launch
Display this image of table top for all to see. Ask students, “What do you notice? What do  you wonder?”
[IMG]
Quiet work time followed by a whole-class discussion.
Student Facing

Anticipated Misconceptions
Students may square the diameter, forgetting that they need to determine the radius first.
Activity Synthesis
Invite students to share their strategies for finding the area of the tabletop. After 3 students have shared their strategies, ask the class what formula all of the students used for finding the area of a circle. Record and display this formula,
\(A = \pi r^2\)
, for all to see. Here,
\(A\)
is the area of the circle, and
\(r\)
is the radius of the circle.
Engagement: Develop Effort and Persistence.
Encourage and support opportunities for peer interactions. Prior to the whole-class discussion, invite students to share their work with a partner. Display sentence frames to support student conversation such as: “First, I _____ because….”, “I noticed _____ so I….”, “Why did you...?”, and “I agree/disagree because….”
