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?


Standard options: 
A. Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities. For example, “The ratio of wings to beaks in the bird house at the zoo was 2:1, because for every 2 wings there was 1 beak.” “For every vote candidate A received, candidate C received nearly three votes.”
B. 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.
C. Understand the concept of a unit rate a/b associated with a ratio a:b with b ≠0, and use rate language in the context of a ratio relationship. For example, “This recipe has a ratio of 3 cups of flour to 4 cups of sugar, so there is 3/4 cup of flour for each cup of sugar.” “We paid $75 for 15 hamburgers, which is a rate of $5 per hamburger.” (Expectations for unit rates in this grade are limited to non-complex fractions.)


Your response:
Thought: 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.
Answer: B

options: Fluently add and subtract within 100 using strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction.

Add and subtract within 1000, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method. Understand that in adding or subtracting three-digit numbers, one adds or subtracts hundreds and hundreds, tens and tens, ones and ones; and sometimes it is necessary to compose or decompose tens or hundreds.

Explain why addition and subtraction strategies work, using place value and the properties of operations. (Explanations may be supported by drawings or objects.)

Add up to four two-digit numbers using strategies based on place value and properties of operations.

Mentally add 10 or 100 to a given number 100–900, and mentally subtract 10 or 100 from a given number 100–900.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to subtract a two-digit number from a two-digit number in a way that makes sense to them. Students build on their understanding of decomposing a ten when subtracting a one-digit number from a two-digit number to subtract two-digit numbers. The synthesis is devoted to presenting and comparing techniques students use to find the difference, including diagrams and equations (MP3).

Advancing Student Thinking
Some students may not use base-ten blocks to find the difference. Prompt them to show their thinking in a way that could help others understand. Ask them to write expressions to show the steps they took when appropriate. Consider asking:
“How did you find the value of the difference?”
“What could you add to your diagram to help your partner understand what you did?”
“How could you use equations to show the steps you used?”
Activity Synthesis
Invite previously identified students to share.
“What did _____ do to solve the problem? How can we record it?”
30 seconds: quiet think time
Share responses.
Show how to represent solving with base-ten blocks with drawings and equations.
“How are these representations like the way _____ used base-ten blocks to find the value of the difference? How are they different?”
