Problem/activity:
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: 
Explain equivalence of fractions in special cases, and compare fractions by reasoning about their size.
 Grade 3 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8.

Answer: 
Yes. By arranging the fractions in this problem, students learn to compare fractions by reasoning about their size.

standard_description: Classify objects into given categories; count the numbers of objects in each category and sort the categories by count. (Limit category counts to be less than or equal to 10.)
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to develop mathematical questions about their school community. This walk could also take place on the playground or in the local community.
MLR8 Discussion Supports.
Synthesis: As students share their questions, include a drawing or annotation to clarify any questions about context. Invite students to notice common language used in mathematical questions such as: how many, how much, which, more than, taller than, etc.
Advances: Speaking, Representing
