Mrs. James left a tray of cookies on the counter early one morning. Larry walked by before lunch and decided to take 1/3 of the cookies on the tray. Later that afternoon Barry came in and ate 1/4 of the remaining cookies. After supper Terry saw the tray of cookies and ate 1/2 of the cookies remaining at that time. The next morning Mrs. James found the tray with only 6 cookies left. How many cookies were on the tray when Mrs. James first left it on the counter?

Analyze Student Work
For each piece of work:• Describe the problem solving approach
the student used. For example, you might:– Describe the way the student has organized
the solution.– Describe what the student did to calculate the
number of cookies that started on the tray.• Explain what the student needs to do to
complete or correct his or her solution.

Unpacking the Standard
Students continue to understand that area is the number of squares needed to cover a plane figure. Students should know the formulas for rectangles and triangles. “Knowing the formula” does not mean memorization of the formula. To “know” means to have an understanding of why the formula works and how the formula relates to the measure (area) and the figure. This understanding should be for all students.

Parallelograms
• Can you find a way to turn your parallelograms into rectangles?– Scissors, tape, grid paper
• How can you use what you just discovered to develop a formula for finding the area of a parallelogram (without having to cut it up)?

Rectangle A• Have students cut from the lower left
corner to a point on the top edge that is three units in from the upper left vertex;
• This cut will form a 45-degree angle, which divides each of the squares through which it passes exactly in half.
![Page 58: Vacaville USD February 19, 2015. AGENDA Problem Solving – Where are the Cookies? Estimating and Measurement Geometry –Area of parallelograms, triangles](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697c0111a28abf838ccb7fb/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Rectangles B and C • Have students remove a triangle by cutting
from the lower left corner diagonally to any point along the top edge.
• Encourage students to choose a point along the top where the edge and one of the grid lines meet.
• Students should then place the removed triangle at the other end of the rectangle.
• Encourage students to make a different cut than other members of their group.

Rectangles D and E • Have students remove the right triangle on
either the right or left side, and move it to the other side.
• Students should realize that this modification changes the parallelogram to a rectangle with the same area.

G.2. Find the volume of a right rectangular prism with fractional edge lengths by packing it with unit cubes of the appropriate unit fraction edge lengths, and show that the volume is the same as would be found by multiplying the edge lengths of the prism. Apply the formulas V = l w h and V = b h to find volumes of right rectangular prisms with fractional edge lengths in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.

Mathematical goals• Recognizing volume as an attribute of three-
dimensional space.• Measuring volume by finding the total number of
same-size units of volume required to fill the space without gaps or overlaps.
• Measuring necessary attributes of shapes, in particular the base area, in order to determine volumes to solve real world and mathematical problems.

Optimizing: Packing It In
FAL – The Shell Center
MATHEMATICAL GOALS• To help students to:
– Reason precisely and defend their conclusions.
– Use mathematics to model a scenario concerning volume.
![Page 94: Vacaville USD February 19, 2015. AGENDA Problem Solving – Where are the Cookies? Estimating and Measurement Geometry –Area of parallelograms, triangles](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697c0111a28abf838ccb7fb/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
Introduction
The lesson unit is structured in the following way:• Before the lesson, students attempt the
task Packing It In individually. You review their responses and formulate questions that will help them improve their work.
• At the start of the lesson, students read your comments and consider ways to improve their work.
![Page 95: Vacaville USD February 19, 2015. AGENDA Problem Solving – Where are the Cookies? Estimating and Measurement Geometry –Area of parallelograms, triangles](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697c0111a28abf838ccb7fb/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
Introduction• In pairs or threes, students work together
to develop a better solution, producing a poster to show their conclusions and their reasoning.
• Then, in the same small groups, students look at some sample student work showing different approaches to the problem. They evaluate the strategies used and seek to improve the arguments given.

compare different solution methods.• Finally, students reflect individually on their
learning.

Sample Work
Analyze the sample student work• What common errors or
misunderstandings do you see?• If these responses were typical of your
class, what prompts or questions would you use to move the class forward?
