Task
 Arrange the fractions in order from least to greatest. Explain your answer with a picture.
 $\frac{1}{5}, \frac{1}{7}, \frac{1}{3} $
 $\frac{2}{5}, \frac{2}{7}, \frac{2}{3} $
 $\frac{5}{6}, \frac{3}{6}, \frac{1}{6} $
 $\frac{5}{12}, \frac{8}{12}, \frac{4}{12} $

Concept/skill: 
Understand a fraction as a number on the number line; represent fractions on a number line diagram.
 Grade 3 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8.

Answer: 
No. Completing this task does not involve representing fractions on a number line diagram.

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

standard_description: Know that straight lines are widely used to model relationships between two quantitative variables. For scatter plots that suggest a linear association, informally fit a straight line, and informally assess the model fit by judging the closeness of the data points to the line.
problem_activity: Task
A student interested in comparing the effect of different types of music on short-term memory conducted the following study:  80 volunteers were randomly assigned to one of two groups.  The first group was given five minutes to memorize a list of words while listening to rap music.  The second group was given the same task while listening to classical music.  The number of words correctly recalled by each individual was then measured, and the results for the two groups were compared.
Is this an experiment or an observational study?  Justify your answer.
In the context of this study, explain why it is important that the subjects were randomly assigned to the two experimental groups (rap music and classical music).
