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: Recognize angles as geometric shapes that are formed wherever two rays share a common endpoint, and understand concepts of angle measurement:
- An angle is measured with reference to a circle with its center at the common endpoint of the rays, by considering the fraction of the circular arc between the points where the two rays intersect the circle. An angle that turns through 1/360 of a circle is called a “one-degree angle,” and can be used to measure angles.
- An angle that turns through n one-degree angles is said to have an angle measure of n degrees.
problem_activity: Narrative
This optional activity gives students an additional opportunity to practice using “jumps” on number lines to subtract fractions, decomposing any whole numbers as needed along the way. (It is similar in structure to an optional activity in an earlier lesson on addition.)
Students are given four number lines with a point marked on each. They then draw a card with a fraction on it. All fractions on the cards, shown here, are greater than the values of the points. Students make one or more jumps to find the difference of the two points and then represent it with a subtraction equation.
\(\frac{8}{5} \qquad \frac{9}{5} \qquad \frac{10}{5} \qquad \frac{11}{5} \qquad \frac{12}{5} \qquad \frac{13}{5} \qquad \frac{14}{5} \qquad \frac{15}{5}\)
Required Materials
Materials to Copy
Make a Jump, Subtraction Edition
Required Preparation
Create a set of cards from the blackline master for each group of 2.
Launch
Groups of 2
Give each group a set of fraction cards from the blackline master.
If students did not complete the optional activity in the previous lesson (which had a similar structure):
Display the four number lines.
“What do you notice? What do you wonder?”
30 seconds: quiet think time
30 seconds: partner discussion
Activity
“Label each point on the number line with a fraction it represents. This is your target.”
1 minute: independent work time
“You will now make one or more jumps from another fraction to your target and write an equation to represent the difference between the two.”
Explain how to use the cards and how to complete the task.
Monitor for students who facilitate subtraction by:
rewriting a fraction on their card as a whole number or a mixed number
labeling their number lines with whole numbers beyond 1
Student Facing
Here are four number lines, each with a point on it. Label each point with a fraction it represents.

The point you labeled is your target.
Pick a card from the set given to you. Locate and label the fraction on the number line.
From that point, draw one or more jumps to reach the target. What do you need to subtract? Label each jump you draw.
Write an equation to represent the difference of your two fractions.
