few_shots: Example 1:
Problem/activity:
Task
Materials
One 10-frame per pair of students (see example below)
[IMG]
Counters, 10 per pair of students
Decks of number cards 0-5 (with 4 of each number) or two 0-5 dice
Setup
This activity is done in pairs. The students sit side by side with 10-frame and deck of cards or dice. If they have cards, the cards are shuffled and placed face down in front of them.
Action
Player 1 flips a card or rolls the die. They place that many counters on the 10-frame. Player 2 flips a card or rolls the die. They place that many more counters on the 10-frame next to the counters already on the ten frame. The students count the total together.
A recording sheet can be added when the students have been introduced to equations and number sentences. For those students who can handle higher numbers, a deck of 0-10 cards and two 10-frames can be used.
This game can also be played alone.


Standard options: 
A. Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings (Drawings need not show details, but should show the mathematics in the problem. (This applies wherever drawings are mentioned in the Standards.)), sounds (e.g., claps), acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations.
B. For any number from 1 to 9, find the number that makes 10 when added to the given number, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record the answer with a drawing or equation.
C. Decompose numbers less than or equal to 10 into pairs in more than one way, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record each decomposition by a drawing or equation (e.g., 5 = 2 + 3 and 5 = 4 + 1).
D. Solve addition and subtraction word problems, and add and subtract within 10, e.g., by using objects or drawings to represent the problem.
E. Fluently add and subtract within 5.

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:
{
  "explanation": "This problem involves understanding fractions and division to divide rational numbers, such as 1, -4, 4, and -1. This problem also involves an understanding of multiplication: if p and q are integers, then -(p/q) = (-p)/q = p/(-q).",
  "answer": "B"
}

Example 3:
Problem/activity:
Find the general solution for:
$${\mathrm{cos}\left({\pi\over2}+x\right)=\mathrm{tan}{\pi\over4}}$$


Standard options: 
A. Prove the Pythagorean identity sin^(2)(θ) + cos^(2)(θ) = 1 and use it to find sin(θ), cos(θ),or tan(θ) given sin(θ), cos(θ), or tan(θ) and the quadrant of the angle.
B. Prove the addition and subtraction formulas for sine, cosine, and tangent and use them to solve problems.


Your response:
{
  "explanation": "An initial step when solving for x in this problem requires the use of the addition formula for cosine on the left side of the equation. Solving this problem does not require use of the Pythagorean identity.",
  "answer": "B"

options: Understand that patterns of association can also be seen in bivariate categorical data by displaying frequencies and relative frequencies in a two-way table. Construct and interpret a two-way table summarizing data on two categorical variables collected from the same subjects. Use relative frequencies calculated for rows or columns to describe possible association between the two variables. For example, collect data from students in your class on whether or not they have a curfew on school nights and whether or not they have assigned chores at home. Is there evidence that those who have a curfew also tend to have chores?

Construct and interpret scatter plots for bivariate measurement data to investigate patterns of association between two quantities. Describe patterns such as clustering, outliers, positive or negative association, linear association, and nonlinear association.

Use the equation of a linear model to solve problems in the context of bivariate measurement data, interpreting the slope and intercept. For example, in a linear model for a biology experiment, interpret a slope of 1.5 cm/hr as meaning that an additional hour of sunlight each day is associated with an additional 1.5 cm in mature plant height.

Know that straight lines are widely used to model relationships between two quantitative variables. For scatter plots that suggest a linear association, informally fit a straight line, and informally assess the model fit by judging the closeness of the data points to the line.
problem_activity: Activity
In the previous activity, students noticed trends in the data from the scatter plot. In this activity, the association is made more precise by looking at equations and graphs of linear models for the data to determine the slope. The numerical value of the slope is then interpreted in the context of the problem (MP2).
Launch
Remind students that earlier we looked at the price and mileage of some used cars. We saw that for these used cars, the price tends to decrease as the mileage increases. Display the scatter plot and linear model for the data.
[IMG]
Tell students that an equation for the line is
\(y=\text-0.073x+17,\!404.485\)
. From the equation we can identify the slope of the line as -0.073. Ask students to think about what that slope tells us and give quiet think time. Select 1–2 students to share their thinking. (It means that for every increase of one mile, the model predicts that the price of the car will decrease by
$
0.073.) Tell students that in this activity they will determine what the slope of the model means for three different sets of data.
Action and Expression: Internalize Executive Functions.
Chunk this task into more manageable parts to support students who benefit from support with organization and problem solving. For example, present only one scatter plot at a time.
Supports accessibility for: Organization; Attention
Speaking, Writing: MLR8 Discussion Supports.
Provide a sentence frame to scaffold students’ language when describing the meaning of slope in each representation. For example, “If the _________ increases by 1 _________ , the model predicts that ___________ (increases/decreases) by ___________ .”
Design Principle: Maximize meta-awareness; Optimize output (for explanation)

What is the value of the slope and what does it mean in this context?
What does the other number in the equation represent on the graph? What does it mean in context?
Use the equation to predict the fuel efficiency of a car that weighs 100 kilograms.
Use the equation to predict the weight of a car that has a fuel efficiency of 22 mpg.
Which of these two predictions probably fits reality better? Explain.

Activity Synthesis
The purpose of this discussion is to develop a quantitative sense of trends based on linear models of the data.
Consider asking some of the following questions:
“What was the easiest way to find the slope for each situation?” (The coefficient of the
\(x\)
-coordinate in the equation.)
“Do the answers for the meaning of the slopes make sense in the contexts of the problem?” (Yes. Diamonds are usually expensive, so a 1 carat increase is likely to cost a lot more. A 1 kilogram difference in the weight of a car is not very much, so it may lower the gas mileage, but not by much. A 1 degree temperature increase is not significant, so it should not need a lot more energy to cool off a building, but some would be needed.)
“What is the difference between a positive slope and negative slope in your interpretations?” (A positive slope means both variables increase together. A negative slope means that when one variable increases, the other decreases.)
“The model for energy consumption and temperature predicted a 0.59 kilowatt hour increase in energy consumption for every 1 degree increase in temperature. Estimate how much the temperature would need to increase to raise energy consumption by 6 kilowatt hours.” (A little more than 10 degrees.)
