Problem/activity:
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: 
Compare two decimals to hundredths by reasoning about their size. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two decimals refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with the symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual model.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 100.

Answer: 
No. This task does not involve comparing decimals to hundredths. Instead, it involves fraction comparisons.

standard_description: Use place value understanding to round decimals to any place.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this Number Talk is for students to demonstrate strategies and understandings they have for dividing a three-digit number by a two-digit number. These understandings help students develop fluency and will be helpful later in this lesson when students use an algorithm that uses partial quotients to divide larger three-digit numbers by two-digit numbers.
Launch
Display one expression.
“Give me a signal when you have an answer and can explain how you got it.”
1 minute: quiet think time
Activity
Record answers and strategy.
Keep expressions and work displayed.
Repeat with each expression.
Student Facing
Find the value of each expression mentally.
\(110 \div 10\)
\(121 \div 11\)
\(132 \div 12\)
\(154 \div 14\)

Activity Synthesis
“What stays the same with each problem? What changes?” (The quotient is always 11. There are always 11 groups of the divisor. The dividend and the divisor change.)
