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?


Mathematical concept/skill options: 
A. Analyze proportional relationships and use them to solve real-world and mathematical problems.
B. Understand ratio concepts and use ratio reasoning to solve problems.


Your response:
{
  "explanation": "This problem focuses on the ratio between two ingredients. Students do not have to analyze proportional relationships in-depth, which is reserved for a higher grade level, but rather use ratios to find missing values.",
  "answer": "B"
}

Now, assign the following problem or activity to one or more relevant mathematical concepts/skills it teaches.

options: Tell and write time.

Relate addition and subtraction to length.

Geometric measurement: understand concepts of angle and measure angles.

Geometric measurement: recognize perimeter as an attribute of plane figures and distinguish between linear and area measures.

Convert like measurement units within a given measurement system.

Geometric measurement: understand concepts of area and relate area to multiplication and to addition.

Describe and compare measurable attributes.

Work with time and money.

Classify objects and count the number of objects in each category.

Solve problems involving measurement and estimation of intervals of time, liquid volumes, and masses of objects.

Measure and estimate lengths in standard units.

Represent and interpret data.

Solve problems involving measurement and conversion of measurements from a larger unit to a smaller unit.

Geometric measurement: understand concepts of volume and relate volume to multiplication and to addition.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of an Estimation Exploration is to practice the skill of estimating a reasonable answer based on experience and known information. In the synthesis, discuss what students know about Estimation Explorations and what they need to think about to create one like this example.

Activity Synthesis
“What do you know about Estimation Explorations?” (It's not about finding the exact answer. We make an estimate that is too low, too high, and about right. The estimate could be the value of an expression, the number of items in an image, or a measurement.)
Consider asking: “What would you have to think about if you were going to design an Estimation Exploration like this one?” (There is something in the image that gives a clue about the general length of the object. Choosing an object that is not an exact length in whole inches.)
Record and display responses for all to see.
