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: Recognize volume as an attribute of solid figures and understand concepts of volume measurement.

Relate volume to the operations of multiplication and addition and solve real world and mathematical problems involving volume.

Measure volumes by counting unit cubes, using cubic cm, cubic in, cubic ft, and improvised units.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to find the volume of figures composed of two non-overlapping right rectangular prisms by adding the volumes of the non-overlapping parts. There are different ways to decompose the figures. Monitor for students who break the figures apart differently and find the same total volume. To reinforce earlier work with cubic units of measure, ask students for the unit of measure in their response if they state the volume as only a number (MP2). If students finish early, give them isometric grid paper to draw a figure composed of two rectangular prisms for their partner to find the volume.

Groups of 2
Display the image from the student workbook with the missing side lengths.
“How can we find the missing side lengths?”
1 minute: quiet think time
2 minutes: partner discussion
Share and record responses on the image of the figure.  (We can subtract 5 from 7 in both cases.)
Activity
“Now, each partner will find the volume of one of the figures and then switch papers. Your job is to then find the volume using a different decomposition strategy than your partner.”
If there is time, the groups of 2 can make groups of 4 and share responses and strategies.
10 minutes: independent work time with partner discussion
Give students access to isometric dot paper to draw the figures if they finish early.

If students do not find the correct volume of the figure, ask, “Where do you see rectangular prisms in this figure?”
Activity Synthesis
Display: Figure 2
“How did you break up this shape to find the volume?” (I cut off the overhanging piece vertically to make two rectangular prisms. I cut off the bottom piece that the shape is resting on, horizontally.)
“How did you find the side lengths of the rectangular prisms?” (Some of the lengths are provided, and I found the others by subtracting.)
“Did you get the same volume when you broke up the figure differently? Why?” (Yes. The calculations were different but they both tell me how many cubic inches it takes to fill the shape.)
