other quantity, thought of as the independent variable. Analyze the relationship between the dependent and independent variables using graphs and tables, and relate these to the equation. For example, in a problem involving motion at constant speed, list and graph ordered pairs of distances and times, and write the equation d = 65t to represent the relationship between distance and time.

From Activity 5.3: Writing, Speaking: MLR 1 Stronger and Clearer Each Time. Use this routine with successive pair shares to give students a structured opportunity to revise and refine their writing. For this activity, students should use the story for the equation they chose to solve. Ask each student to meet with 2 – 3 other partners in a row for feedback. Provide students with prompts for feedback that will help teams strengthen their ideas and clarify their language (e.g., “How are the parts of the equation represented in your story?”, “Can you say more about how your solution fits in your story?”). Provide students with time to complete a final draft based on the feedback they receive about language and clarity. Lesson 16 “Are You Ready for More?” A fruit stand sells apples, peaches, and tomatoes. Today, they sold 4 apples for every 5 peaches. They sold 2 peaches for every 3 tomatoes. They sold 132 pieces of fruit in total. How many of each fruit did they sell?
