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: Explain patterns in the number of zeros of the product when multiplying a number by powers of 10, and explain patterns in the placement of the decimal point when a decimal is multiplied or divided by a power of 10. Use whole-number exponents to denote powers of 10.

Use place value understanding to round decimals to any place.

Read, write, and compare decimals to thousandths.

Recognize that in a multi-digit number, a digit in one place represents 10 times as much as it represents in the place to its right and 1/10 of what it represents in the place to its left.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to make sense of and then use exponential notation to represent large numbers, namely 1 million and 1 billion. Students should be encouraged to say the names of the numbers in a way that makes sense to them. Contexts, in the form of human populations, are provided for each of the large numbers to help students conceptualize the magnitude of the number. Students recognize that the purpose of exponential notation is to write large numbers efficiently and recognize how many factors of ten are in a given number.
When students relate 1 million and 1 billion to products of 10 and powers of 10 they look for and make use of base-ten structure (MP7).
MLR2 Collect and Display.
Circulate, listen for and collect the language students use as they use exponential notation to represent large numbers. On a visible display, record words and phrases such as: million, thousands, billion, powers of 10, exponential notation, represent, times, multiply by ten, number of zeros. Invite students to borrow language from the display as needed, and update it throughout the lesson.

Activity Synthesis
Ask previously selected students to share their names for 1,000,000,000 in the given order.
“How many millions are in this number? How do you know?” (A thousand because there are 3 more zeros and that means multiplying by 10 three times.)
“How do you write this number using powers of 10? Why?” (
\(10^9\)
because there are 9 factors of 10.)
“This number is called a billion.”
“Using powers of 10, can you write a number that is bigger than a billion?” (Yes,
\(10^{10}\)
,
\(10^{11}\)
,
\(10^{100}\)
.)
“Why are powers of 10 useful for representing really big numbers?” (I would not want to write 100 zeros. I would also have to count all those zeros to see how big the number is.)
