Example 1:
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.

Example 2:
Concept/skill: 
Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division and of fractions to multiply and divide rational numbers.

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: 
Yes. This problem involves understanding fractions and division to divide rational numbers, such as 1, -4, 4, and -1. This problem also involves an understanding of multiplication: if p and q are integers, then -(p/q) = (-p)/q = p/(-q).

Example 3:
Concept/skill: 
Analyze and solve pairs of simultaneous linear equations.

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: 
Yes. The last three rows of the table in the first problem involves solving pairs of simultaneous linear equations. The second word problem can also be represented as two simultaneous linear equations.

standard_description: Fluently add and subtract within 100 using strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to add or subtract to find unknown addends within 20. Students will find unknown addends when the total is 20. The known addends may encourage students to think about ways to make a ten and to use the sums and differences that they know (MP7).
MLR7 Compare and Connect.
Synthesis: After all strategies have been presented, lead a discussion comparing, contrasting, and connecting the different approaches. Ask, “Why did the different approaches lead to the same outcome? What did the methods have in common? How were they different?”
Advances: Representing, Conversing
Engagement: Develop Effort and Persistence.
Students may benefit from feedback that emphasizes effort and time on task. For example, give feedback on the partner relationship and how students are able to work together to complete a task. Encourage both partners to share ideas and speak up to agree or disagree.

Number Cards 0-19
Required Preparation
Create a set of cards for each group of 2.
Launch
Groups of 2
Give each group a set of cards.
Activity
“Let’s play another game to find unknown addends.”
Select a volunteer to be your partner.
“Partner A will draw a card and hold it on their forehead without looking.”
Prompt the volunteer to demonstrate.
“Partner B names a number that you can add to the number on the card to get to 20.”
Think aloud finding and naming the number.
“Partner A then names the number they are holding on their head.”
Prompt the volunteer to find the number.
“Check your work and write an equation to represent how you found an unknown addend in the turn. Share your equation with your partner. Switch roles and play again.”
12 minutes: partner work time
Monitor for students who:
use place value reasoning or look to make 10
use known addition or subtraction facts
make equivalent, but easier sums or differences
