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.

a.   Here are two tables with expressions. Find the value of each expression. Use a model if it's helpful. Leave the last two rows of each table blank for now.
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"align": "center", "class": ["table"], "style": "width: 100%;align: center"}, "tbody": [{"tr": [{"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Set A"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Set B"}]}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}, "div": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["table-responsive"]}, "table": [{"_attributes": {"align": "center", "class": ["table", "table-bordered"], "style": "width: 60%;"}, "thead": [{"tr": [{"th": [{"_attributes": {"scope": "col"}, "strong": [{"_value": "expression"}]}, {"_attributes": {"scope": "col"}, "strong": [{"_value": "value"}]}]}]}], "tbody": [{"tr": [{"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$$1\\times\\frac{1}{8}$$"}]}, {}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$$2\\times\\frac{1}{8}$$"}]}, {}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$$3\\times\\frac{1}{8}$$"}]}, {}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$$4\\times\\frac{1}{8}$$"}]}, {}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$$5\\times\\frac{1}{8}$$"}]}, {}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$$6\\times\\frac{1}{8}$$"}]}, {}]}, {"td": [{}, {}]}, {"td": [{}, {}]}]}]}]}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}, "div": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["table-responsive"]}, "table": [{"_attributes": {"align": "center", "class": ["table", "table-bordered"], "style": "width: 60%;"}, "thead": [{"tr": [{"th": [{"_attributes": {"scope": "col"}, "strong": [{"_value": "expression"}]}, {"_attributes": {"scope": "col"}, "strong": [{"_value": "value"}]}]}]}], "tbody": [{"tr": [{"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$$2\\times \\frac{1}{3}$$"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$$2\\times \\frac{1}{4}$$"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$$2\\times \\frac{1}{5}$$"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$$2\\times \\frac{1}{6}$$"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$$2\\times \\frac{1}{7}$$"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$$2\\times \\frac{1}{8}$$"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}}]}]}]}]}]}]}]}]}]}
