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

Now, assign the following problem or activity to one or more relevant standards it aligns with.

options: Convert among different-sized standard measurement units within a given measurement system (e.g., convert 5 cm to 0.05 m), and use these conversions in solving multi-step, real world problems.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to convert from meters to centimeters using the context of a standing broad jump, a common test for physical fitness. Students may multiply by 100 to convert from meters to centimeters or divide by 100 to convert from centimeters to meters. Students should be encouraged to use whatever strategy makes sense to them. Future lessons will focus specifically on conversion from centimeters to meters. Give students access to meter sticks.
MLR8 Discussion Supports.
Synthesis: Provide students with the opportunity to rehearse what they will say with a partner before they share with the whole class.

“What do you notice? What do you wonder?” (The girl is jumping. There are numbers on the mat. Did she start where the footprints are? How far did she jump?)
Activity
1–2 minutes: quiet think time
6–8 minutes: partner work time
Monitor for students who:
use their result for Tyler’s jump in centimeters to find his jump in millimeters
use the result in meters to find how far Tyler jumped in millimeters

Here are the distances that each student jumped.
| student |  distance   |
|---------|-------------|
|   Mai   | 1.61 meters |
|  Tyler  | 1.43 meters |
|  Clare  | 1.57 meters |
The average standing broad jump distance for 5th graders is 148 centimeters. Are each of the students in the table below, at, or above the average? Explain or show your reasoning.
The world record for the standing broad jump is 337 centimeters. Jada says that’s more than Mai and Clare jumped combined. Do you agree with Jada? Explain or show your reasoning.
Tyler says his jump sounds more impressive if he reports it in millimeters.
How far is Tyler’s jump in millimeters? What about Mai’s and Clare’s jumps?
Which unit do you think is best for reporting the jumps? Explain your reasoning.

If students do not know the relationship between millimeters, centimeters, and meters, show them a meter stick and ask “How can you use the meter stick to figure out how many millimeters are in 1 meter?”
Activity Synthesis
Display the expression:
\(1.43 \times 100\)
.
“How does this expression represent Tyler’s jump in centimeters?” (There are 100 centimeters in a meter.)
Invite students to share how they found Tyler’s jump in millimeters.
Display the expression:
\((1.43 \times 100) \times 10\)
.
“In what unit of measurement does this expression represent Tyler's jump? How do you know?” (It represents Tyler’s jump in millimeters. There are 10 millimeters in a centimeter and
\(1.43\times100\)
represents the centimeters, so if we multiply the number of centimeters by 10, we will get the number of millimeters.)
Display the expression:
\(1.43 \times 1,\!000\)
.
“How does this expression represent Tyler’s jump in millimeters?” (There are 1,000 millimeters in a meter so I have to multiply by 1,000 to get millimeters from meters.)
Display the equation:
\(1.43 \times 1,\!000 = (1.43 \times 100) \times 10\)
.
Invite students to share which unit they prefer to express the distances that the students jumped.
“It’s important to choose a unit that makes sense to you.”
