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 for students to develop mathematical questions about their school community. This walk could also take place on the playground or in the local community.
MLR8 Discussion Supports.
Synthesis: As students share their questions, include a drawing or annotation to clarify any questions about context. Invite students to notice common language used in mathematical questions such as: how many, how much, which, more than, taller than, etc.
Advances: Speaking, Representing
