few_shots: Example 1:
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?


Standard options: 
A. Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities. For example, “The ratio of wings to beaks in the bird house at the zoo was 2:1, because for every 2 wings there was 1 beak.” “For every vote candidate A received, candidate C received nearly three votes.”
B. Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems, e.g., by reasoning about tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams, double number line diagrams, or equations.
C. Understand the concept of a unit rate a/b associated with a ratio a:b with b ≠0, and use rate language in the context of a ratio relationship. For example, “This recipe has a ratio of 3 cups of flour to 4 cups of sugar, so there is 3/4 cup of flour for each cup of sugar.” “We paid $75 for 15 hamburgers, which is a rate of $5 per hamburger.” (Expectations for unit rates in this grade are limited to non-complex fractions.)


Your response:
B

Example 2:
Problem/activity:
For each pair of numbers, determine if the values are equivalent. Explain your reasoning for each one.
a.
$$-0.25$$
and
$$\frac{1}{-4}$$
b.
$$-\left ( \frac{1}{4} \right )$$
and
$$\frac{-1}{-4}$$
c.
$$\frac{-1}{4}$$
and
$$-\frac{1}{4}$$


Standard options: 
A. Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving the four operations with rational numbers. (Computations with rational numbers extend the rules for manipulating fractions to complex fractions.)
B. Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division and of fractions to multiply and divide rational numbers.
C. Apply and extend previous understandings of addition and subtraction to add and subtract rational numbers; represent addition and subtraction on a horizontal or vertical number line diagram.


Your response:
B

options: Solve problems involving scale drawings of geometric figures, including computing actual lengths and areas from a scale drawing and reproducing a scale drawing at a different scale.

Draw (freehand, with ruler and protractor, and with technology) geometric shapes with given conditions. Focus on constructing triangles from three measures of angles or sides, noticing when the conditions determine a unique triangle, more than one triangle, or no triangle.

Describe the two-dimensional figures that result from slicing three-dimensional figures, as in plane sections of right rectangular prisms and right rectangular pyramids.
problem_activity: Activity
This activity is similar to what students did in the previous activity; however, here the conditions given are 2 angles and 1 side.
Launch
Keep students in the same groups. Tell students that this activity is similar to the previous one, and they should pay close attention to what they find different here. Provide access to geometry toolkits. Give students 2–3 minutes of quiet work time followed by time to discuss their explanations with a partner. Follow with a whole-class discussion.
Engagement: Develop Effort and Persistence.
Encourage and support opportunities for peer interactions. Invite students to talk about their ideas with a partner before writing them down. Display sentence frames to support students when they explain their strategy. For example, “Both _____ and _____ are alike because . . .”, “ _____ and _____ are different because . . . ."
Supports accessibility for: Language; Social-emotional skills

Anticipated Misconceptions
Some students may say there are only 2 different triangles in this set, because they do not notice the slight size difference between the smaller two groups of triangles. Prompt them to look at where the
\(80^\circ\)
angle is located in comparison to the 6 cm side.
Activity Synthesis
Ask a few students to share how many different triangles they think are in this set. Select students to share the similarities and differences between triangles in the set. If necessary, trace a few triangles from the set and show how you can turn, flip, or move some of them to line up while others cannot be lined up. Ask students what this means about all the triangles in the set (they are not all identical to each other).
To highlight the differences among the triangles ask students:
“What differences do you see between the triangles in this activity and the triangles in the previous activity?” (The given conditions here were 2 angles and 1 side, the previous activity was 2 sides and 1 angle.)
“What similarities do you see between the triangles in this activity and the triangles in the previous activity?” (These triangles have all the same conditions but in a different order, and they made different triangles as was seen in the previous activity.)
If time permits, consider asking students to use a protractor to measure the unlabeled angle from each of the three different triangles. Discuss what they notice about the third angle. (It’s the same size in every triangle.)
Explain to students that here we see another example of different triangles that can be made using the same conditions (2 angles and 1 side) in different orders (side between the two angles, side next to the 40 degree angle and side next to the 80 degree angle). Tell them that in upcoming lessons we will continue to investigate what they noticed here with the addition of drawing the different triangles.
Speaking: MLR8 Discussion Supports.
Use this routine to amplify mathematical uses of language to communicate about similar triangles. As students share the similarities and differences they noticed about the triangles, invite other students to press for details, challenge an idea, elaborate on an idea, or give an example of their own process. Revoice student ideas to demonstrate mathematical language when necessary. This will help students produce and make sense of the language needed to communicate their own ideas.
