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.

problem_activity: Activity
The purpose of this activity is for students to compare the possible ways of constructing equilateral triangles. Look for student work that illustrates a variety of methods and sizes of triangles.
Making dynamic geometry software available gives students an opportunity to choose appropriate tools strategically (MP5).
Launch
Encourage students to construct the equilateral triangles using different methods rather than repeating the same method twice.
Student Facing
Use straightedge and compass moves to construct at least 2 equilateral triangles of different sizes.

[IMG]
Examine the figure carefully. What different shapes is it composed of? Be specific.
Figure out how to construct the figure with a compass and straightedge.
Then, cut it out, and see if you can fold it up into a container like this.

Anticipated Misconceptions
If students get stuck, ask them to refer to the warm-up to see whether they can spot equilateral triangles. Then encourage them to do the compass and straightedge moves required to make those equilateral triangles.
Activity Synthesis
Display several student responses for all to see. Ask students to explain their methods for producing equilateral triangles and justify how they know each triangle is equilateral. If not mentioned by students, conjecture that, in some of these constructions, the entire construction remains the same even when rotated
\(\frac13\)
of a full turn (120 degrees) around the center. This means that each side can be rotated onto the other sides, and each angle can be rotated onto the other angles. This plants ideas about symmetry that will be explored in later lessons.
Speaking, Representing: MLR8 Discussion Supports.
Use this routine to help students prepare for the whole-class discussion. Arrange students in groups of 2. Invite students to take turns explaining their method for constructing equilateral triangles of different sizes. This will provide all students with additional opportunities to clarify their thinking and to produce language.
Design Principle(s): Support sense-making; Cultivate conversation
Action and Expression: Develop Expression and Communication.
Invite students to talk about their ideas with a partner before writing them down. Display sentence frames to support students when they explain their strategy and ideas. For example, “First, I _____ because _____. Then, I....” and “I know _____ because….”
