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?


Topic options: 
A. Number & Operations - Fractions: students learn to understand fractions as numbers and may work with them using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
B. Functions: students learn to define, use, and evaluate functions to model relationships between quantities.
C. Number Systems and Quantity: students learn to understand the complex number system and reason quantitatively.
D. Ratios & Proportional Relationships: students learn to recognize, describe, represent, and reason with ratios, rates, proportional relationships, and percent.
E. Measurement & Data: students learn to work with data and measure attributes such as time, money, length, area, and volume. They may learn to compare measurements to operations and convert between different units of measure.
F. Modeling: students learn to choose and use appropriate mathematics and statistics to analyze real-world empirical situations, improve decisions, and report on their conclusions and the reasoning behind them.
G. Statistics & Probability: students learn to analyze and produce data distributions, and build understanding of univariate and bivariate data. They learn to interpret data, make statistical inferences, justify conclusions, understand rules of probability, and use probability to make decisions.
H. Geometry: students learn to classify geometric figures by their properties, and understand and compare the relationships between them. Students develop and use formulas to compute lengths, areas, and volumes, and they use transformations to generate new shapes and compare existing ones. Geometry can be studied with and without coordinates.
I. Number & Operations in Base Ten: students learn to work with the base-ten system and build place value understanding.
J. Operations & Algebra: students learn to solve problems using algebraic thinking and operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. They may learn to identify and explain arithmetic patterns, evaluate or manipulate numerical expressions, and reason with equations and inequalities.
K. Counting & Cardinality: students learn to know number names and the count sequence, count to tell the number of objects, and compare numbers.

problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to find quotients of a whole number by tenths or hundredths. This activity focuses on divisors of 0.2 and 0.02 to build on students' previous work dividing by 0.1 and 0.01. The strategies, diagrams and place value reasoning used in the previous lessons still apply. Students may also think about the problems using multiplication. For example
\(1 \div 0.2 = 5\)
because
\(5 \times 0.2 = 1\)
.
Required Materials

Advancing Student Thinking
If a student is not able to use the value of the first expression in each set to find the value of the later expressions, ask them to describe what they notice and wonder about each set of expressions. Use numbers and symbols when possible to record the relationships they describe.
Activity Synthesis
Ask selected students to share the representations listed above.
“How are the representations the same? How are they different?” (They both figured out how many tenths or hundredths are in one whole. Then they multiplied that by the number of wholes. One of them used a picture and one of them reasoned about the size of tenths and hundredths to find how many 0.2's and 0.02's are in one whole.)
Display a student's completed work showing the values of the quotients.
“What patterns do you see across the sets of equations?” (The quotients with a divisor of 0.01 are 10 times larger than those with a divisor of 0.1. The quotients with a divisor of 0.1 are a tenth of the value of those with a divisor of 0.01.)
Record the patterns as students describe them.
