Example:
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?

problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this How Many Do You See is for students to subitize or use grouping strategies to describe the images they see. The synthesis highlights that the images show 1 more and 1 less than the initial image. When students use the dot images to subitize, they look for and make use of the structure of 5 and 1 more or 1 less (MP7).
