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 convert from meters to centimeters using the context of a standing broad jump, a common test for physical fitness. Students may multiply by 100 to convert from meters to centimeters or divide by 100 to convert from centimeters to meters. Students should be encouraged to use whatever strategy makes sense to them. Future lessons will focus specifically on conversion from centimeters to meters. Give students access to meter sticks.
MLR8 Discussion Supports.
Synthesis: Provide students with the opportunity to rehearse what they will say with a partner before they share with the whole class.

Give students access to meter sticks.
“What do you notice? What do you wonder?” (The girl is jumping. There are numbers on the mat. Did she start where the footprints are? How far did she jump?)
Activity
1–2 minutes: quiet think time
6–8 minutes: partner work time
Monitor for students who:
use their result for Tyler’s jump in centimeters to find his jump in millimeters
use the result in meters to find how far Tyler jumped in millimeters

Here are the distances that each student jumped.
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"border": "1"}, "thead": [{"tr": [{"th": [{"_attributes": {"scope": "col"}, "_value": "student"}, {"_attributes": {"scope": "col"}, "_value": "distance"}]}]}], "tbody": [{"tr": [{"td": [{"_value": "Mai"}, {"_value": "1.61 meters"}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "Tyler"}, {"_value": "1.43 meters"}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "Clare"}, {"_value": "1.57 meters"}]}]}]}]}
The average standing broad jump distance for 5th graders is 148 centimeters. Are each of the students in the table below, at, or above the average? Explain or show your reasoning.
The world record for the standing broad jump is 337 centimeters. Jada says that’s more than Mai and Clare jumped combined. Do you agree with Jada? Explain or show your reasoning.
Tyler says his jump sounds more impressive if he reports it in millimeters.
How far is Tyler’s jump in millimeters? What about Mai’s and Clare’s jumps?
Which unit do you think is best for reporting the jumps? Explain your reasoning.

Advancing Student Thinking
If students do not know the relationship between millimeters, centimeters, and meters, show them a meter stick and ask “How can you use the meter stick to figure out how many millimeters are in 1 meter?”
Activity Synthesis
Display the expression:
\(1.43 \times 100\)
.
“How does this expression represent Tyler’s jump in centimeters?” (There are 100 centimeters in a meter.)
Invite students to share how they found Tyler’s jump in millimeters.
Display the expression:
\((1.43 \times 100) \times 10\)
.
“In what unit of measurement does this expression represent Tyler's jump? How do you know?” (It represents Tyler’s jump in millimeters. There are 10 millimeters in a centimeter and
\(1.43\times100\)
represents the centimeters, so if we multiply the number of centimeters by 10, we will get the number of millimeters.)
Display the expression:
\(1.43 \times 1,\!000\)
.
“How does this expression represent Tyler’s jump in millimeters?” (There are 1,000 millimeters in a meter so I have to multiply by 1,000 to get millimeters from meters.)
Display the equation:
\(1.43 \times 1,\!000 = (1.43 \times 100) \times 10\)
.
Invite students to share which unit they prefer to express the distances that the students jumped.
“It’s important to choose a unit that makes sense to you.”
