Problem 2
Kim has a small container and a large container as shown.
[IMG]
It takes 16 of the small containers to fill the large container. Three small containers leave 1.95 gallons of space in the big container.
What is the size of each of the two containers?


Standard options: 
A. Solve linear equations in one variable.
B. Analyze and solve pairs of simultaneous linear equations.


Your response:
Thought: The last three rows of the table in the first problem involves solving pairs of simultaneous linear equations. The second word problem can also be represented as two simultaneous linear equations.
Answer: B

Now, assign the following problem or activity to one or more relevant standards it aligns with.

options: Add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals to hundredths, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method and explain the reasoning used.

Find whole-number quotients of whole numbers with up to four-digit dividends and two-digit divisors, using strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.

Fluently multiply multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to use a method of their choice, likely multiplication or division, to solve a contextual problem about equal sharing of the longest noodle ever made. The numbers in this activity are larger than the numbers students have worked with in previous lessons on division. Students estimate the number of feet of noodle each person ate at the record breaking event. The numbers and context were chosen to encourage students to consider what they know about the meaning of division, to make a reasonable estimate, and to reason about the meaning of the quotient in the context of the situation presented (MP2).
Monitor and select students with the following strategies to share in the synthesis:
Students use multiplication or division to estimate that each person will get about 25 feet of noodle.
Students can explain why 25 feet of noodle for each person is a low estimate.
Launch
“What kind of noodles do you like to eat?” (ramen, spaghetti, fettucini, chicken noodle soup)
30 seconds: partner discussion
“About how long is one of the noodles you like to eat?” (about 1 foot long)
Groups of 2
Activity
5 minutes: independent work time
5 minutes: partner discussion
As students work, consider asking “What do the numbers in your calculations mean, in terms of the situation?”
Student Facing
A Chinese food company cooked a single noodle measuring about 10,119 ft. It served 400 people.
If the noodle was shared equally, estimate how many feet of noodle each person was served.
Is your estimate lower or higher than the actual length of noodle each person ate? Explain your reasoning without calculating the actual length.

Activity Synthesis
Ask selected students to share in the given order (or use the provided student solutions if needed).
“How are the methods for estimating the amount of noodle each person gets the same?”(They both start by giving each person 10 feet of noodle. Then they give more until they have both given 25 feet to each person. They both find multiples of 400.)
“How are they different?” (One thinks of the process as division and one uses just multiplication.)
“How do you know the estimate of 25 feet is too low?” (Because there was still some of the noodle left. There are 119 feet left over.)
