options: 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.

Number & Operations - Fractions: students learn to understand fractions as numbers and may work with them using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

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.

Number & Operations in Base Ten: students learn to work with the base-ten system and build place value understanding.

Number Systems and Quantity: students learn to understand the complex number system and reason quantitatively.

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.

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.

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.

Ratios & Proportional Relationships: students learn to recognize, describe, represent, and reason with ratios, rates, proportional relationships, and percent.

Functions: students learn to define, use, and evaluate functions to model relationships between quantities.

Counting & Cardinality: students learn to know number names and the count sequence, count to tell the number of objects, and compare numbers.
problem_activity: Problem 1
Act 1: Look at the following recipe -
[IMG]
What do you notice? What do you wonder?
Problem 2
Act 2: Use the following information to determine how many batches of cake can be made, how many servings can be made, and how much of each ingredient are needed to make that much cake -
This is how many eggs there are:
[IMG]
This is how much oil there is:
[IMG]
There are 4 boxes of cake mix.
Water will come from the tap.
Each box of cake makes 12 servings.
Problem 3
Act 3: Reveal the answer –
There is enough of each ingredient to make
$$2\frac{2}{3}$$
boxes, which would produce 32 servings of cake.
To make
$$2\frac23$$
boxes, you need
$$2\frac23$$
cups of water,
$$\frac89$$
cups of vegetable oil, and 8 eggs.
Was your answer reasonable? Why or why not?
Problem 4
Act 4 (the sequel):
Keaton wants to make enough cake so that every student in his fifth grade could have some. There are 100 students in fifth grade. How much more of each ingredient above would Keaton need?
