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 a line of symmetry for a two-dimensional figure as a line across the figure such that the figure can be folded along the line into matching parts. Identify line-symmetric figures and draw lines of symmetry.

Classify two-dimensional figures based on the presence or absence of parallel or perpendicular lines, or the presence or absence of angles of a specified size. Recognize right triangles as a category, and identify right triangles.

Draw points, lines, line segments, rays, angles (right, acute, obtuse), and perpendicular and parallel lines. Identify these in two-dimensional figures.
problem_activity: Narrative
In this activity, students are given the result of folding a shape along one or more lines of symmetry and asked to reason about the original shape. No lines of symmetry are specified, so students must consider all sides of a folded shape as a possible line of symmetry and visualize the missing half accordingly.
The first question offers opportunities to practice choosing tools strategically (MP5). Some students may wish to trace the half-shapes on patty paper, to make cutouts of them, or to use other tools or techniques to reason about the original shape. Provide access to the materials and tools they might need.
During the activity synthesis, discuss the different ways students approach the second question. Consider preparing cutouts of shapes A–F to facilitate the discussion. (The shapes are provided in the blackline master.)
Action and Expression: Internalize Executive Functions.
Invite students to plan a strategy, including the tools they will use, for the task. If time allows, invite students to share their plan with a partner before they begin.

Activity Synthesis
Invite students to share their responses and strategies.
When discussing the second question, ask students why B, C, and E are not possible shapes of the original piece of paper even though there’s a line that breaks each figure into two right triangles that match the given triangle. (B and E have no line symmetry. C has lines of symmetry but not diagonally from corner to corner. If you fold there, the triangles would not be on top of one another.)
