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: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to make a reasonable estimate for a given product.
In addition to estimating the product, students also decide whether the estimate is too large or too small. In the activity synthesis, students consider about how far their estimate is from the actual product.
I
n the next activity, students will evaluate the expressions using a strategy of their choice.
Students choose between several different possible estimates and justify their choice before they calculate the product (MP3).
Engagement: Provide Access by Recruiting Interest.
Synthesis: Revisit math community norms to prepare students for the whole-class discussion.
Supports accessibility for: Social Emotional Functioning, Language

Activity
5–7 minutes: independent work time
2–3 minutes: partner discussion
Monitor for students who:
relate the given expression to each proposed answer by rounding or changing one or both factors.
estimate by rounding the factors.
use benchmark numbers.
use place value reasoning or the properties of operations to explain why their estimate is reasonable.
Student Facing

\(18 \times 149\)
is most reasonable? Explain or show your reasoning.
\(2,\!000\)
\(4,\!000\)
\(3,\!000\)
\(1,\!500\)
Are any of the estimates unreasonable? Explain or show your reasoning.

Advancing Student Thinking
If students do not choose a reasonable estimate for
\(18 \times 149\)
, ask, “Can you explain how you chose your estimate?”
Activity Synthesis
Invite students to share their estimates for the product and their reasoning.
“Why do you think
\(3,\!000\)
is a good estimate?” (18 is close to 20 and 149 is very close to 150 and I know
\(20 \times 150 = 3,\!000\)
.)
“Is the value of
\(18 \times 149\)
greater than or less than
\(3,\!000\)
? How do you know?” (Less, because 18 is less than 20 and 149 is less than 150.)
“Can you estimate how much less?” (About 300, because I added 2 to 18 to get 20 and
\(2 \times 149\)
is about 300.)
Display:
\(18 \times 149\)
is about
\(2,\!700\)
.
“In the next activity, we’ll check to see how good our estimate is.”
