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.

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

standard_description: Verify experimentally the properties of dilations given by a center and a scale factor:
- A dilation takes a line not passing through the center of the dilation to a parallel line, and leaves a line passing through the center unchanged.
- The dilation of a line segment is longer or shorter in the ratio given by the scale factor.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to learn stage 3 of the Capture Squares center. Capture Squares was introduced in grade 1. In this stage, students spin to get a number (6
–
10) and flip a card (0
–
10) and find the value of the sum. The spinner includes a wild space where students can choose their own number. They find the value of the sum on the game board and connect 2 dots that are adjacent to the number. If that line closes the square, they capture it and shade it in their color. The player to shade in 3 squares first is the winner.
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Colored pencils or crayons
Number cards 0–10
Paper clips
Materials to Copy
Capture Squares Stage 3 Gameboard
Capture Squares Stage 3 Spinner
Launch
Groups of 2
Give each pair of students a copy of the game board, the spinner and a paper clip, a set of cards, and access to crayons or colored pencils.
“We are going to play a game.”
Spin the spinner and draw a card.
“How could I find the value of the sum of these two numbers?”
30 seconds: quiet think time
1 minute: partner discussion
Share responses.
Use a suggested method or select a volunteer to show how to find the value.
“Now, I find the square that has the value of my sum. I draw a line connecting two dots on that square.”
“If the spinner lands on the wild space, you can pick any number to be one of your addends.”
Repeat 1–2 more times, as needed.
“If I draw the line that completes the square, I shade in that square with my color. The first player to shade in 3 squares is the winner.”
Activity
12 minutes: partner work time
Monitor for a variety of student strategies to share in the synthesis.
Activity Synthesis
Invite selected students to share their strategies.
“When the spinner landed on the wild spot, how did you decide what number to pick?”
