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:

standard_description: Express the length of an object as a whole number of length units, by laying multiple copies of a shorter object (the length unit) end to end; understand that the length measurement of an object is the number of same-size length units that span it with no gaps or overlaps. Limit to contexts where the object being measured is spanned by a whole number of length units with no gaps or overlaps.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is to connect the time shown on a digital clock with an analog clock with only the hour hand displayed. Students use the cards created in the first activity to write times in the digital format to represent each clock.
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Materials from a previous activity
Required Preparation
Each student needs the clock cards they created in the previous activity.

Activity Synthesis
Display the card that shows 5 o’clock.
“Find your card that matches this card. What time did you write under this clock? How did you know that it shows 5:00?”
“Find the card that shows 4 o’clock. How did you know that it shows 4:00? How did you write the time?” (The arrow is pointing to the 4. 4:00)
Repeat with other cards as time permits.
