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
$$-\frac{1}{4}$$


Concept/skill: 
Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division and of fractions to multiply and divide rational numbers.

Answer: 
Yes. 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).

standard_description: Read and write numbers to 1000 using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this How Many Do You See is for students to use grouping strategies to describe the images they see.
When students use grouping to find the total in a multiple of tens, they look for and make use of structure (MP7).

Activity Synthesis
“What expressions could we record for the different ways that students saw the tens?” (
\(6 \times 10\)
, because some students saw 6 groups of 10.
\(3 \times (10 \times 2)\)
, because some students saw 2 rows of 10, then multiplied by 3.
\((3 \times 10) \times 2\)
, because some students multiplied 3 times 10 for each column, then multiplied by 2.)
Consider asking:
“Who can restate in different words the way _____ saw the tens?”
“Did anyone see the tens the same way but would explain it differently?”
“Does anyone want to add an observation to the way _____ saw the tens?”
