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: Derive using similarity the fact that the length of the arc intercepted by an angle is proportional to the radius, and define the radian measure of the angle as the constant of proportionality; derive the formula for the area of a sector.
problem_activity: Activity
Students build their sense for the sizes of angles measured in radians by shading sectors with given central angle measures.
Launch
Arrange students in groups of 2. Distribute 1 set of pre-cut slips to each group.
Student Facing
Your teacher will give you a set of cards with angle measures on them. Place the cards upside down in a pile. Choose 1 student to go first. This student should draw a card, then on either circle shade a sector of the circle whose central angle is the measure on the card that was drawn.
Take turns repeating these steps. If you are shading in a circle that already has a shaded sector, choose a spot next to the already-shaded sectors—don’t leave any gaps. You might have to draw additional lines to break the sectors into smaller pieces.
Continue until an angle is drawn that won’t fit in any of the sectors that are still blank.
[IMG]
[IMG]
When you’re finished, answer these questions about each circle:
What is the central angle measure for the remaining unshaded sector?
What is the central angle measure for the block of shaded sectors?

Anticipated Misconceptions
If students struggle to figure out the size of the angles on the cards they draw, ask them what radian measure 180 degrees is equivalent to (
\(\pi\)
radians). Then, ask them to find the measures of the central angles of each sector on the 2 circles (
\(\frac{\pi}{4}\)
and
\(\frac{\pi}{6}\)
).
Activity Synthesis
The goal is to gather strategies for understanding the sizes of angles measured in radians. Here are some questions for discussion:
“For groups that drew a card with
\(\frac{\pi}{8}\)
radians, how did you figure out what size sector to shade?” (Sample response: Each sector in the first circle had a central angle measuring
\(\frac{\pi}{4}\)
radians, so
\(\frac{\pi}{8}\)
radians is half that.)
“What is the sum of the angle measures for the shaded and unshaded sector blocks, and why?” (The angle measures add to
\(2\pi\)
, because together they make up the whole circle.)
“How could you shade a sector with central angle measure
\(\frac{\pi}{24}\)
radians in each of the circles?” (This would be one-sixth of a sector in the first circle, and one-quarter of a sector in the second circle.)
