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.


Your response:
{
  "explanation": "This task involves representing addition with objects such as number cards and dice.",
  "answer": "A"

Example 2:
Problem/activity:
For each pair of numbers, determine if the values are equivalent. Explain your reasoning for each one.
a.
$$-0.25$$
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: Compute unit rates associated with ratios of fractions, including ratios of lengths, areas and other quantities measured in like or different units. For example, if a person walks 1/2 mile in each 1/4 hour, compute the unit rate as the complex fraction 1/2/1/4 miles per hour, equivalently 2 miles per hour.

Recognize and represent proportional relationships between quantities.

Use proportional relationships to solve multistep ratio and percent problems. Examples: simple interest, tax, markups and markdowns, gratuities and commissions, fees, percent increase and decrease, percent error.
problem_activity: Activity
The purpose of this activity is to give students practice using the language of percent error. The problems here are similar in structure to percent increase or decrease problems, but the language is different. Students may need some help interpreting the language used for percent error and drawing parallels to the language used for percentage increase and decrease. Students should use similar strategies they used to calculate percentage increase or decrease. This activity includes one of each type of problem:
finding the erroneous amount given the correct amount and the percent error
finding the correct amount given the erroneous amount and the percent error
finding the percent error given the erroneous amount and the correct amount
Students may need help understanding that a different approach is needed for each question. As students work, monitor for those who use strategies similar to those used for percentage increase and decrease, and ask them to share during the whole-class discussion.
Launch
Before students begin working, read the first question aloud. It is helpful to tie the language used in the task to the phrase "percentage increase." Ask several students to explain in their own words what information is given in the problem, and what it is asking them to find. The plant is supposed to get
\(\frac34\)
cup of water, but it is getting 25% more than that. We can think of this as
\(\frac34\)
cup increased by 25%.
Arrange students in groups of 2. Give students 3–5 minutes of quiet work time. Partner then by whole-class discussion.
Representation: Internalize Comprehension.
Activate or supply background knowledge. Represent the same information through different modalities. If students are unsure where to begin, suggest that they draw a double number line to help organize the information provided.
Supports accessibility for: Conceptual processing; Visual-spatial processing
Student Facing
Instructions to care for a plant say to water it with
\(\frac34\)
cup of water every day. The plant has been getting 25% too much water. How much water has the plant been getting?
The pressure on a bicycle tire is 63 psi. This is 5% higher than what the manual says is the correct pressure. What is the correct pressure?
The crowd at a sporting event is estimated to be 3,000 people. The exact attendance is 2,486 people. What is the

Are you ready for more?
A micrometer is an instrument that can measure lengths to the nearest micron (a micron is a millionth of a meter). Would this instrument be useful for measuring any of the following things? If so, what would the largest percent error be?
The thickness of an eyelash, which is typically about 0.1 millimeters.
The diameter of a red blood cell, which is typically about 8 microns.
The diameter of a hydrogen atom, which is about 100 picometers (a picometer is a trillionth of a meter).

Anticipated Misconceptions
Students might struggle with figuring out how to calculate how much water the plant has been getting. Ask students, "How much more water has the plant been getting? How do you calculate that total?"
Activity Synthesis
Select students who used these strategies for each problem to share:
Calculate a quarter of
\(\frac34\)
and add it to
\(\frac34\)
.
Use 1.05 to divide into 63.
Calculate percent error using
\(\frac{514}{2,486}\)
.
After each student has shared, ask the class if they agree or disagree or if they had a different way to calculate the solution. If students use strategies similar to ones they did calculating percentage increase or decrease, ask students if they see a connection. If no student brings it up, ask students how the solution strategies here are similar to the ones used with percentage increase and decrease.
Speaking: MLR8 Discussion Supports.
As students describe their strategies for calculating the erroneous amount, correct amount, and percent error, revoice student ideas to demonstrate mathematical language use. Press for details in students’ explanations by requesting that students challenge an idea, elaborate on an idea, or give an example. This will help students to produce and make sense of of the language needed to communicate their own ideas.
Design Principle(s): Support sense-making; Optimize output (for explanation)
