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.
What is the size of each of the two containers?


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
In this activity, students reason about the relative size of decimals by locating them on a number line. As in a previous activity, they rely on their experience of locating fractions on a number line and the relationship of the decimal values relative to 0 and 1.
If desired and logistically feasible, consider carrying out the activity on a giant number line rather than on paper.
Stretch a long strip of tape across a wall, at least 8 or 10 feet long. Partition the tape into 12 equal intervals, using shorter pieces of tape as tick marks. Label the locations of 0 and 1.
Give each group of students 2–3 dot stickers, 4–5 sticky notes, and a thick marker.
Ask each group to write (on sticky notes) labels for two of the tick marks, with one sticky note for each label.
Assign each group one or two of the eight decimals in the second problem. Ask them to locate their assigned decimals on the number line, using dot stickers to mark the location and sticky notes to label them.
Action and Expression: Internalize Executive Functions.
Synthesis: Invite students to plan a strategy, including the tools they will use, for the first two steps of the activity. If time allows, invite students to share their plan with a partner before they begin.
Supports accessibility for: Organization, Social-Emotional Functioning
Launch
Groups of 3–4
Activity
If creating a giant number line, lead the activity as outlined in the Activity Narrative. Otherwise, ask students to work with their group on the first two problems.
Pause and discuss:
how students knew where to put each decimal
how the number line could help us see the least and greatest
“Take a few quiet minutes to complete the rest of the activity.”
5–6 minutes: independent work time
Student Facing
Label each tick mark on the number line with the number it represents.
[IMG]
Here are eight numbers.
0.10
0.40
0.80
1.10
0.15
0.45
0.75
1.05
Locate and label each number on the number line.
Which number is greatest? Which is least? Explain how the number line can help determine the greatest and least numbers.
Locate and label these numbers on the number line.
0.24
0.96
0.61
1.12

Use two numbers from the previous questions to complete each comparison statement so that it is true.
________ is greater than _______.
________ is less than _______.
________ is the greatest number.

Advancing Student Thinking
Students may be unsure whether to label the tick marks between 0 and 1 in terms of tenths or hundredths, or whether to use fraction or decimal notation. Consider asking: “What labels might be helpful for locating the decimals in the activity?”
Activity Synthesis
Select students to display their completed number lines (showing the locations of five additional decimals).
Invite the class to agree or disagree with the locations of the point and discuss any disagreements.
Select other students to share their comparison statements and how they know each statement is true.
