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: Represent transformations in the plane using, e.g., transparencies and geometry software; describe transformations as functions that take points in the plane as inputs and give other points as outputs. Compare transformations that preserve distance and angle to those that do not (e.g., translation versus horizontal stretch).

Know precise definitions of angle, circle, perpendicular line, parallel line, and line segment, based on the undefined notions of point, line, distance along a line, and distance around a circular arc.

Develop definitions of rotations, reflections, and translations in terms of angles, circles, perpendicular lines, parallel lines, and line segments.

Given a geometric figure and a rotation, reflection, or translation, draw the transformed figure using, e.g., graph paper, tracing paper, or geometry software. Specify a sequence of transformations that will carry a given figure onto another.

Given a rectangle, parallelogram, trapezoid, or regular polygon, describe the rotations and reflections that carry it onto itself.
problem_activity: Activity
In this activity, students work together to investigate lines of symmetry and communicate their thinking in a visual display. As you monitor, ask groups if they have found all possible lines of symmetry and to explain how they know all shapes of that type have that same symmetry.
Launch
Arrange students in groups of 2–4. Provide each group with tools for creating a visual display.
Assign a different shape from the blackline master to each group and provide enough copies of that shape for each student in each group. Note that the cool-down uses a rectangle, so you may choose to assign the rectangle to a group of students who need more processing time.
Give students 5 minutes of work time followed by 5 minutes to put together their visual display. Explain that they will not have enough time to make the visual display perfect, so the purpose is to get their ideas down in an organized way.
Student Facing
Determine all the
lines of symmetry
for the shape your teacher assigns you. Create a visual display about your shape. Include these parts in your display:
the name of your shape
the definition of your shape
drawings of each line of symmetry
a description in words of each line of symmetry
one non-example in a different color (a description and drawing of a reflection
not
over a line of symmetry)

Are you ready for more?
Look at all of the shapes the class explored and focus on those which had more than one line of symmetry.
What is true for all the lines of symmetry in these shapes?
Give an example of a shape that has two or more lines of symmetry that do not intersect at the same point.
What would happen if you did a sequence of two different reflections across lines of symmetry for the shapes you explored in class?

Anticipated Misconceptions
Students might think that any line that divides the area of a figure in half, like a diagonal of a non-square rectangle, is a line of symmetry. Ask students to reflect across these lines to see that the shapes are not taken onto themselves.
Activity Synthesis
The purpose of this discussion is to identify what types of shapes have reflection symmetry.
Ask groups to display their visual displays in the classroom for all to see in order of the number of lines of symmetry their shape has. They will have to communicate with other groups to accomplish this.
Invite students to do a “gallery walk” in which they leave written feedback on sticky notes for the other groups. Here is guidance for the kind of feedback students should aim to give each other:
Was there anything about the organization of the visual display that made the ideas especially clear? Was there anything about the organization that could be improved?
Was there anything about the way the ideas are explained that made the ideas especially clear? Was there anything about the explanations that could be improved?
Are there any lines of symmetry that the group missed?
Are there any lines of symmetry that don’t work for all shapes of the given type?
After the gallery walk, ask students to share their observations about reflection symmetries for the different shapes. Consider asking:
“Which shapes had the fewest lines of symmetry? Which had the most?” (The parallelogram that is not a rhombus didn’t have any lines of symmetry. The circle has the most since it has infinite.)
“Were there any lines that you thought would be lines of symmetry, but when you tried to reflect, they turned out not to be?” (The diagonal of a parallelogram that is not a rhombus seemed like it would be a line of symmetry, but it’s not.)
“Describe a shape that would have no lines of symmetry.” (A scalene triangle has no lines of symmetry.)
Save the visual displays if possible for comparison with displays of angles of rotation that create symmetry in a subsequent lesson.
Engagement: Develop Effort and Persistence.
Break the class into small group discussion groups and then invite a representative from each group to report back to the whole class.
