Task
Cruz and Erica were both getting ready for soccer.
Cruz ran 1 lap around the school.
Erica ran 3 laps around the playground.
Erica said,
I ran more laps, so I ran farther.
Cruz said,
4 laps around the school is 1 mile, but it takes 12 laps around the playground to go 1 mile. My laps are much longer, so I ran farther.
Who is right? Draw a picture to help you explain your answer.


Concept/skill: 
Explain why a fraction a/b is equivalent to a fraction (n × a)/(n × b) by using visual fraction models, with attention to how the number and size of the parts differ even though the two fractions themselves are the same size. Use this principle to recognize and generate equivalent fractions.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 100.

Answer: 
Yes. This task asks students to compare two fractions that are equal. The students need to explain why the two fractions are equal by drawing a picture, which involves using visual fraction models.

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

standard_description: Solve systems of linear equations exactly and approximately (e.g., with graphs), focusing on pairs of linear equations in two variables.
problem_activity: A family has a house on a plot of land and would like to build an addition. The map below shows the “footprint” of the original house, the proposed addition, and the family’s plot of land. Each grid line represents 10 linear feet.
[IMG]
The family’s plot of land is rectangular. What are the values of the missing coordinates,
$$x$$
and
$$y$$
?
What is the ratio of the proposed addition “footprint” area to the original house “footprint” area?
What is the area of land that will not have a building on it if the proposed addition is approved and built?
Prove that the proposed addition “footprint” is a right triangle.
