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 create rectangles from colored paper. Students make identical rectangles that have one side length that is a whole number and one side length that is a fraction greater than 1. Then, as a group they create one mosaic. It is not necessary for students to use all of the rectangle pieces. It is important that all students in each group measure their rectangles using the same unit, either inches or centimeters.
Action and Expression: Provide Access for Physical Action.
Provide access to pre-cut materials to reduce barriers for students who need support with fine motor skills and students who benefit from extra processing time.
Supports accessibility for: Fine Motor Skills, Organization, Visual-Spatial Processing
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Colored paper
Glue
Rulers
Scissors
Required Preparation
Each student needs a few sheets of the same colored paper.
Each group of 4 needs a ruler, scissors, glue and one large piece of poster paper.
Launch
Groups of 4
Distribute materials. Make sure each student in the group gets a different color paper.
Activity
10 minutes: independent work time
5 minutes: group work time
Monitor for students who:
write numerical expressions to represent the area of the rectangles.
use a diagram or write on the physical rectangles.
Student Facing
Use the colored paper and scissors to cut identical rectangles. Make sure the measurement of one side of the rectangle is a whole number and the other is a fraction greater than 1.
What is the area of one of your rectangles? Show your reasoning.
Use the rectangles from your group to make a group mosaic by arranging some of the different colored rectangles on a blank piece of paper.

Activity Synthesis
Invite a few students to share and describe their mosaic.
“What are some questions we can ask about the mosaics?” (Which color rectangle did we use the most of? What are some other ways we can arrange the same pieces? What are some other pieces that can make the same pattern? How much would this cost if we actually made this using hard materials?)
