5.NF.7 Task 3

1) The document presents a math word problem where Mackenzie used 2 cups of sugar to make cookies, and 2 cups was 1/3 of the total sugar she had. Students are asked to draw a model, write an expression, and determine how much sugar Mackenzie had originally. 2) To solve the problem, students should draw a model showing that if 2 cups is 1/3 of the total, and multiply both sides by 3, then the total amount of sugar Mackenzie originally had was 6 cups. 3) The rubric evaluates students at three levels - limited performance, not yet proficient, and proficient - based on their ability to draw a model, identify

Mackenzie’s Sugar
5.NF.7 - Task 3
Domain Numbers and Operations - Fractions
Cluster Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division to multiply
and divide fractions.
Standard(s) 5.NF.7 Apply and extend previous understandings of division to divide unit fraction by
whole numbers and whole numbers by unit fractions. (Note: Students able to multiply
fractions in general can develop strategies to divide fractions in general, by reasoning
about the relationship between multiplication and division. But division of a fraction by a
fraction is not a requirement of this grade.)
Materials Paper and pencil
Task Mackenzie used 2 cups of sugar to make cookies. 2 cups is 1/3 of all the sugar she had.
How much sugar did Mackenzie have before she made cookies?
