Example:
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).

Now, does the following problem or activity enable students to learn the full intent of the following concept or skill?

standard_description: Solve addition and subtraction word problems, and add and subtract within 10, e.g., by using objects or drawings to represent the problem.
problem_activity: Task
Jessica evaluates $\sqrt{2}$ on her calculator which shows a value of
$$
1.4142136.
$$
She then writes
$$
\sqrt{2} = 1.4142136.
$$
Is Jessica correct?  Explain.
Explain, in terms of the structure of the expression $(1.4142136)^2$, why
it can not be equal to $2$.
Use the reasoning of part (b) to explain why $\sqrt{2}$ can not be equal
to any terminating decimal.
