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 problem or activity shown below enable students to learn the full intent of the following concept or skill?

standard_description: Understand that the probability of a chance event is a number between 0 and 1 that expresses the likelihood of the event occurring. Larger numbers indicate greater likelihood. A probability near 0 indicates an unlikely event, a probability around 1/2 indicates an event that is neither unlikely nor likely, and a probability near 1 indicates a likely event.
problem_activity: Problem 1
a.   Write two equivalent expressions to represent the total area of the rectangle shown. Justify that your two expressions are equivalent.

b.   Expand the expression below using a rectangular array.
$${\frac{1}{3}(9x-12y-18)}$$
Problem 2
a.   What could be the missing dimensions of the rectangular array? Which set of dimensions uses the greatest common factor of the two terms?
[IMG]
b.   Factor the expression below using a rectangular array. Use the greatest common factor as the representation of the width.
$${24d-8e+6}$$
Problem 3
The table below includes expressions that are written in expanded form and in factored form. Complete the table. Use rectangular arrays as needed.
