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, assess whether the following problem or activity is 'aligned' with the given Common Core standard in Mathematics.

standard_description: Distinguish between defining attributes (e.g., triangles are closed and three-sided) versus non-defining attributes (e.g., color, orientation, overall size); build and draw shapes to possess defining attributes.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this Number Talk is to elicit strategies and understandings students have about the relationship between addition and subtraction. Each addition and subtraction equation represents the same part-whole relationship. These understandings help students develop fluency and will be helpful later in this lesson when students solve missing addend problems.

Student Facing
Find the missing value mentally.
\(4 + \boxed{\phantom{1}} = 5\)
\(5 - \boxed{\phantom{1}} = 4\)
\(6 + \boxed{\phantom{2}} = 8\)
\(8 - \boxed{\phantom{2}} = 6\)

Activity Synthesis
“How can finding the missing value in the first equation help you with the second equation?" (I know that 1 more than 4 is 5, so I also know that 1 less than 5 is 4.)
