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.

problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to practice using an algorithm that uses partial quotients to divide multi-digit numbers by two-digit divisors. Before finding the quotient, students estimate the value of the quotient which both helps students decide which partial quotients to use and helps them evaluate the reasonableness of their solution (MP8).  For example, if students estimate that the value of
\(529 \div 23\)
is a little more than 20, that means that a good choice for first partial quotient is 20. Whenever possible, ask students to explain the steps they are taking.
To add movement to the activity, after students have solved each problem, they can partner with other students who used different partial quotients or got a different solution. This gives students the opportunity to explain their reasoning to one another and make adjustments to their work, as needed.
MLR7 Compare and Connect.
Synthesis: After all strategies have been presented, lead a discussion comparing, contrasting, and connecting the different approaches. Ask, “What did the approaches have in common?”, “How were they different?” and “Why did the different approaches lead to the same outcome?”.
Advances: Representing, Conversing
Engagement: Develop Effort and Persistence.
Chunk this task into more manageable parts. Check in with students to provide feedback and encouragement after each chunk. Provide feedback on their use of algorithms using partial quotients.

Activity Synthesis
Ask 2–3 students to share their work for the same problem that shows different partial quotients.
“How can you make sure that the whole number quotient you got at the end is reasonable?” (It should be close to my estimate. I can multiply the quotient and divisor and that should give me the dividend.)
If students pair and share with other partners, ask, “How did explaining your work to others help you today?” or “What did someone say today that helped you in your understanding of division?” (I learned that it’s ok to take more steps because I was comfortable with the multiples I used.)
