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?


Mathematical concept/skill options: 
A. Analyze proportional relationships and use them to solve real-world and mathematical problems.
B. Understand ratio concepts and use ratio reasoning to solve problems.


Your response, in json format:
{
  "explanation": "This problem focuses on the ratio between two ingredients. Students do not have to analyze proportional relationships in-depth, which is reserved for a higher grade level, but rather use ratios to find missing values.",
  "answer": "B"
}

Now, assign the following problem or activity to one or more relevant mathematical concepts/skills it teaches.

problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is to introduce stage 2 of the Connecting Cubes center. Students use connecting cubes to make objects pictured on cards. As they work, observe whether students match the connecting cubes to the image or count the number of connecting cubes in the image to create their own object (MP6).
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Connecting cubes
Materials to Copy
Connecting Cubes Stage 2 Cards
Required Preparation
Create a set of cards from the blackline master for each group of 2.
Launch
Groups of 2
“We are going to look at a new center that you can choose during center choice time.”
Display the student book.
“How could you use connecting cubes with this picture?” (We can make things with our connecting cubes that look like the picture in the book.)
30 seconds: quiet think time
1 minute: partner discussion
Share responses.
