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

problem_activity: Activity
The purpose of this task is for students to practice plotting coordinates in all four quadrants and find horizontal and vertical distances between coordinates in a puzzle. In past activities, students have been told the scale for the distance between grid lines, but here they must determine that each grid square has length 2 from the information given.
Digital
Launch
Arrange students in groups of 2. Tell students that they should not assume that each grid box is 1 unit. Give students 10 minutes quiet work time and 2 minutes for partner discussion. Follow with whole-class discussion.
Students using digital materials will be able to create a path through the maze by plotting points with an applet.
Representation: Internalize Comprehension.
Check in with students after the first 2–3 minutes of work time. Check to make sure students have selected appropriate coordinates for the first points of Andre’s route through the maze.
Supports accessibility for: Conceptual processing; Organization
Conversing: MLR5 Co-craft Questions.
Display only the picture of the maze and ask pairs of students to write possible mathematical questions about the situation. This is an opportunity for students to think about and relate to previous questions from previous lessons. Then, invite pairs to share their questions with the class. This helps students produce the language of mathematical questions and talk about the coordinate grid and the points on the maze.
Design Principle(s): Optimize output (for explanation); Maximize meta-awareness

Activity Synthesis
The key idea is that it is possible to find distances and describe situations involving movement using the coordinate plane. This abstraction is important to appreciate because it means we can use numbers (in this case,
pairs
of numbers in the coordinate plane) to model situations that involve distance or movement. This will play a key role in later studies.To highlight these ideas, consider asking:
How were you or your partner able to find the coordinates in the maze? Did you come up with any strategies or shortcuts?
How did you find the distances that Andre and Jada traveled?
What other situations involving movement could be represented with a coordinate plane?
Students may come up with examples like board games, maps, and perhaps even 3-dimensional examples.
