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.

Estimate and Measure Stage 1 Recording Sheet

Narrative
Students choose an object and a familiar unit to measure it with. They estimate the length of the object and then measure to see the actual length to the nearest whole unit.
Variation:
Students may use base-ten cubes and add the length of two objects to practice adding within 100.
Additional Information
Gather or identify objects of various lengths that are less than 20 units (pencils, markers, books, glue, scissors, shoe, tape dispenser, side of desk).
