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?

problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this warm-up is to elicit student ideas for how a tape diagram could be used to represent a Take From problem involving lengths. This will be useful when students solve story problems in the context of length in a later activity. While students may notice and wonder many things about these images, the connections students make between the image, the tape diagram, and the equation are the important discussion points.

Activity Synthesis
“What do you think the diagram and the ribbon could have in common?” (Maybe the 54 is cm or in, so 16 is how much of the ribbon is being cut off.)
“What could the question mark represent?” (The longer part of the ribbon after it is cut. It represents the value of
\(54-16\)
.)
