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?


Topic options: 
A. Number & Operations - Fractions: students learn to understand fractions as numbers and may work with them using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
B. Functions: students learn to define, use, and evaluate functions to model relationships between quantities.
C. Number Systems and Quantity: students learn to understand the complex number system and reason quantitatively.
D. Ratios & Proportional Relationships: students learn to recognize, describe, represent, and reason with ratios, rates, proportional relationships, and percent.
E. Measurement & Data: students learn to work with data and measure attributes such as time, money, length, area, and volume. They may learn to compare measurements to operations and convert between different units of measure.
F. Modeling: students learn to choose and use appropriate mathematics and statistics to analyze real-world empirical situations, improve decisions, and report on their conclusions and the reasoning behind them.
G. Statistics & Probability: students learn to analyze and produce data distributions, and build understanding of univariate and bivariate data. They learn to interpret data, make statistical inferences, justify conclusions, understand rules of probability, and use probability to make decisions.
H. Geometry: students learn to classify geometric figures by their properties, and understand and compare the relationships between them. Students develop and use formulas to compute lengths, areas, and volumes, and they use transformations to generate new shapes and compare existing ones. Geometry can be studied with and without coordinates.
I. Number & Operations in Base Ten: students learn to work with the base-ten system and build place value understanding.
J. Operations & Algebra: students learn to solve problems using algebraic thinking and operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. They may learn to identify and explain arithmetic patterns, evaluate or manipulate numerical expressions, and reason with equations and inequalities.
K. Counting & Cardinality: students learn to know number names and the count sequence, count to tell the number of objects, and compare numbers.

problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to add within 1,000 using any strategy that makes sense to them. The expressions in this activity give students a chance to use different strategies, such as adding hundreds to hundreds, tens to tens, and ones to ones, reasoning with numbers close to a hundred, or using a variety of representations. Students who use base-ten blocks or draw number line diagrams choose appropriate tools strategically (MP5).
Engagement: Provide Access by Recruiting Interest.
Leverage choice around perceived challenge. Invite students to select 3 of the 4 expressions to complete. Encourage the completion of the last two expressions, as they will be the focus of the synthesis.
Supports accessibility for: Organization, Attention, Social-emotional skills
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Base-ten blocks
Launch
Groups of 2
Give students access to base-ten blocks.
“Take a minute to think about how you could find the value of each sum.”
1 minute: quiet think time
Share responses.
Activity
“Work with your partner to add these numbers in any way that makes sense to you. Explain or show your reasoning.”
5-7 minutes: partner work time
Monitor for an expression for which students use a variety of representations, such as:
Using base-ten blocks
Drawing a number line
Writing their reasoning in words
Writing equations
Identify students using different representations to share during synthesis.
Student Facing
Find the value of each sum in any way that makes sense to you. Explain or show your reasoning.
\(325 + 102\)
\(301 + 52\)
\(276 + 118\)
\(298 + 305\)

Activity Synthesis
Select previously identified students to display their work side-by-side for all to see.
“Which representations show the same idea or help us find the sum the same way?” (The base-ten blocks and equations show adding hundreds to hundreds, tens to tens, and ones to ones. The number line and the words both added on the second number to the first number in parts.)
