Problem 2
Kim has a small container and a large container as shown.
[IMG]
It takes 16 of the small containers to fill the large container. Three small containers leave 1.95 gallons of space in the big container.

Topic options: 
A. 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.
B. Number & Operations - Fractions: students learn to understand fractions as numbers and may work with them using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
C. 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.
D. 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.
E. Ratios & Proportional Relationships: students learn to recognize, describe, represent, and reason with ratios, rates, proportional relationships, and percent.
F. 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.
G. Functions: students learn to define, use, and evaluate functions to model relationships between quantities.
H. 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.
I. Number Systems and Quantity: students learn to understand the complex number system and reason quantitatively.
J. Number & Operations in Base Ten: students learn to work with the base-ten system and build place value understanding.
K. Counting & Cardinality: students learn to know number names and the count sequence, count to tell the number of objects, and compare numbers.

problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to make sense of different methods they can use to compare three-digit numbers. They analyze the thinking of others and make connections across representations (MP2, MP3). Although students have compared numbers using different representations in prior units, this activity offers them the opportunity to consider using the number line as a tool to compare three-digit numbers. In the synthesis, students will discuss which representation makes it easier to see the comparison. While students could make a case that each of the representations was easier for them, the focus is on Jada’s way, the number line.

Groups of 2
Activity
“Diego, Jada, and Clare were asked to compare 371 and 317. They each represented their thinking differently.”
“Take some time to look over their methods.”
2 minutes: independent work time
“Discuss with your partner how their methods are the same and different.”
4 minutes: partner discussion
“Now try Jada’s way.”
6 minutes: partner work time
Student Facing
Each student compared 371 and 317, but represented their thinking in different ways.
Diego
[IMG]
[IMG]
I see 3 hundreds for each number.
317 only has 1 ten, but 371 has 7 tens.
\(371 > 317\)
Clare
Each has 3 hundreds.
371 has 7 tens, but 317 only has 1 ten.
\(317 < 371\)
Jada
[IMG]
I can see that 371 is farther to the right on my number line, so I know it is greater than 317.
\(371 > 317\)
What is the same and different about these students’ representations?
Discuss with a partner.
Try Jada’s way.
Estimate the location of 483 and 443 on the number line.
Mark each number with a point. Label the point with the number it represents.
[IMG]
Use
\(>\)
,
\(=\)
, or
\(<\)
to compare 483 and 443.

Advancing Student Thinking
If students write comparison statements that are not true, ask them to read their statements and consider asking:
“How did you decide which number was greater?”
“How does your statement match the number line?”
Activity Synthesis
“Clare, Diego, and Jada represented their thinking in different ways. Whose method made it easier to see that 371 is greater than 317? Explain.” (Jada’s because you just have to look at which number is farther to the right. You can see 371 is farther from 0. Diego’s because I use diagrams and I can see quickly that the hundreds are the same and there are more tens, but some things were the same.)
As needed, “Jada and Diego wrote
\(371 > 317\)
, but Clare wrote
\(317 < 371\)
. Who do you agree with? Explain.” (They both mean the same thing. 371 is greater than 317, so 317 is less than 371.)
