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.

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

Problem 3
On the map below,
$${{1\over4}}$$
inch represents one mile. Candler, Canton, and Oteen are three cities on the map.
[IMG]
a.   If the distance between the real towns of Candler and Canton is 9 miles, how far apart are Candler and Canton on the map?
b.   If Candler and Oteen are
$${3 {1\over2}}$$
inches apart on the map, what is the actual distance between Candler and Oteen in miles?
