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?


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.

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.

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

standard_description: Know that straight lines are widely used to model relationships between two quantitative variables. For scatter plots that suggest a linear association, informally fit a straight line, and informally assess the model fit by judging the closeness of the data points to the line.
problem_activity: Problem 1
For the four scatter plots, answer the following questions:
Does there appear to be a relationship between
$$x$$
and
$$y$$
?
If there is a relationship, does it appear to be linear?
If the relationship appears to be linear, is it a positive or negative linear relationship?
If applicable, circle the correct words in this sentence: There is a (positive/negative) association between
$$x$$
and
$$y$$
because as
$$x$$
increases, then
$$y$$
tends to (increase/decrease).

Problem 2
Pablo is curious if there is a relationship between the amount of time high school students spend on social media and their academic achievement. To explore this, he conducts a survey of 30 randomly selected students from his school, and asks them how many minutes they spent on social media yesterday and what their most recent grade point average (GPA) was. Pablo summarized his data in the scatter plot below.
[IMG]
a.   Describe the relationship between the amount of time spent on social media and GPA.
b.   Are there any deviations from the pattern? Explain what you see.
c.   Are there any clusters of data? What do they mean in context?
