options: Counting & Cardinality: students learn to know number names and the count sequence, count to tell the number of objects, and compare numbers.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Number Systems and Quantity: students learn to understand the complex number system and reason quantitatively.
problem_activity: Warm-up
The purpose of this warm-up is for students to reason about the various measurements of a circle. In each of the pictures, students are given a piece of information about the circle and asked to reason about the other measurements of the circle. Some of these measurements can be found based on the given information while others, without a calculator, would require an estimate.
Launch
Arrange students in groups of 2. Give students 1 minute of quiet think time followed by 2 minutes to discuss their estimates with a partner.
Student Facing
Here are some pictures of circular objects, with measurement tools shown. The measurement tool on each picture reads as follows:
Wagon wheel: 3 feet
Plane propeller: 24 inches
Sliced Orange: 20 centimeters
[IMG]
For each picture, which measurement is shown?
Based on this information, what measurement(s) could you estimate for each picture?

Activity Synthesis
For each picture, ask selected students to share the measurements shown in the pictures. Ask students to explain the strategies or calculations they would use for computing or estimating other measurements (for example, the radius and circumference of the wheel). Record and display student responses on the actual pictures. Refer to MLR 2 (Collect and Display) to highlight student responses and language about what they know and what they estimated.
