Narrative
The first partner spins to get a group of coins. They write a question that compares the amount they spun to a different group of coins that they make up.


Standard options: 
A. Tell and write time from analog and digital clocks to the nearest five minutes, using a.m. and p.m.
B. Solve word problems involving dollar bills, quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies, using $ and ¢ symbols appropriately. Example: If you have 2 dimes and 3 pennies, how many cents do you have?


Your response:
{
  "explanation": "In this activity, students write word problems that compare coin amounts.",
  "answer": "B"
}

Now, assign the following problem or activity to one or more relevant standards it aligns with.

options: Use ratio and rate reasoning to solve real-world and mathematical problems, e.g., by reasoning about tables of equivalent ratios, tape diagrams, double number line diagrams, or equations.

Understand the concept of a unit rate a/b associated with a ratio a:b with b ≠0, and use rate language in the context of a ratio relationship. For example, “This recipe has a ratio of 3 cups of flour to 4 cups of sugar, so there is 3/4 cup of flour for each cup of sugar.” “We paid $75 for 15 hamburgers, which is a rate of $5 per hamburger.” (Expectations for unit rates in this grade are limited to non-complex fractions.)

Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities. For example, “The ratio of wings to beaks in the bird house at the zoo was 2:1, because for every 2 wings there was 1 beak.” “For every vote candidate A received, candidate C received nearly three votes.”
problem_activity: Warm-up
Students reason about the relationship between distance, rate, and time to solve a problem. The purpose is to reactivate what students know about constant speed contexts, where constant speed is represented by a set of equivalent ratios associating distance traveled and elapsed time. In the longer activity that follows, students represent a constant speed context using a table, equations, and graphs.
As students work, watch for different representations used (particularly tables) as well as for students who calculate each person's speed in miles per hour or each person's pace in hours per mile.
Launch
Consider starting off by having students close their books or devices, and display the following situation. Ask students, "What do you notice?" "What do you wonder?"
Lin and Jada each leave school at 3 p.m. to walk to the library. They each walk at a steady rate. When do they arrive?
Give them 1 minute to think of at least one thing they notice and one thing they wonder.
Students might notice that they leave at 3 p.m., that they walk at a steady rate (also called a constant speed), and that there is not enough information given to answer the question.
Students might wonder many things, but in order to answer the question, they would need to know:
How fast do they each walk?
How far away is the library?
Ask students to open their books or devices and use the additional information to solve the problem by any method they choose. If desired, remind students of tools that may be appropriate including double number lines or tables of equivalent ratios.
Student Facing
Lin and Jada each walk at a steady rate from school to the library. Lin can walk 13 miles in 5 hours, and Jada can walk 25 miles in 10 hours. They each leave school at 3:00 and walk
\(3\frac14\)
miles to the library. What time do they each arrive?

Activity Synthesis
Invite students who used different representations and lines of reasoning to share. If no student mentions it, demonstrate how to represent on person's trip using a table of equivalent ratios with columns representing distance and time. Ask a student to explain how to use the table to reason about the distance traveled in 1 hour and the time it takes to travel 1 mile.
One way to reason is to notice that Lin can walk 26 miles in 10 hours, so she walks slightly faster than Jada (who can complete 25 miles in 10 hours) and should arrive a bit sooner. Both of these ways of reasoning are in preparation for the following activity.
