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: Given a two-digit number, mentally find 10 more or 10 less than the number, without having to count; explain the reasoning used.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to consider possible mistakes when multiplying large numbers. Monitor for students who:
revise their answer after examining Kiran’s mistake.
recognize that
\(650 \times 10 = 6,\!500\)
so
\(650 \times 27\)
has to be much greater than 5,850.
can explain why Kiran should be multiplying
\(650 \times 2 \times 10\)
.
recognize that
\(20 \times 50 = 1,\!000\)
so there should be three zeros in the second partial product.
When students determine Kiran's error and make sense of his work, they interpret and critique the work of others (MP3).
MLR1 Stronger and Clearer Each Time.
Synthesis: Before the whole-class discussion, give students time to meet with 2–3 partners to share and get feedback on their response to “what parts of Kiran’s work do you agree and disagree with?” Invite listeners to ask questions, to press for details and to suggest mathematical language. Give students 2–3 minutes to revise their written explanation based on the feedback they receive.

Launch
Display or write for all to see.
\(650 \times 27\)
Display each number in a different corner of the room:
14,000
18,000
13,000
19,000
“When I say go, stand in the corner with the number that you think is the most reasonable estimate for
\(650 \times 27\)
. Be prepared to explain your reasoning.”
1 minute: quiet think time
Ask a representative from each corner to explain their reasoning.
“Does anyone want to switch corners?”
Ask a student who switched corners to explain their reasoning.
“Now you are going to find this product and analyze some work.”

Activity Synthesis
Ask previously identified students to share their thinking.
Display Kiran's work.
“Why doesn’t 5,850 make sense?” (
\(650 \times 10 = 6,\!500 \)
so
\(650 \times 27\)
should be a lot larger than 6,500.)
“What makes sense about Kiran’s work?” (
\(650 \times 2 =1,\!300\)
, but he needs to multiply
\(650\times2\times10\)
.)
Display a student's solution or the image from the student solution.
“How do we know that 17,550 is a reasonable value for the product?” (Because
\(600 \times 30 =18,\!000\)
.)
