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.

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: Draw points, lines, line segments, rays, angles (right, acute, obtuse), and perpendicular and parallel lines. Identify these in two-dimensional figures.
problem_activity: Narrative
In this warm-up, students practice estimating a reasonable angle measurement based on their knowledge of angles so far and their familiarity with clocks. Later in the unit, students will take a closer look at the angles in an analog clock and apply their understanding of angles to solve more sophisticated problems.

“What is an estimate that’s too high? Too low? About right?”
1 minute: quiet think time
Activity
1 minute: partner discussion
Record responses.
Draw an arc to show the clockwise turn of the minute hand from the hour hand (label the
\(143^\circ\)
measurement with an arc).
“Your estimate should show the size of this angle in degrees. If you need to, revise your estimates.”
As needed, record any revisions.
Student Facing
How many degrees is the angle formed by the long hand and the short hand of the clock?

Make an estimate that is:
|                    too low                     |                  about right                   |                    too high                    |

Activity Synthesis
Consider asking:
“Is anyone’s estimate less than _____? Is anyone’s estimate greater than _____?”
“How did you go about making an estimate? How did you know that _____ must be too low and _____ must be too high?”
“Based on this discussion does anyone want to revise their estimate?”
Consider revealing the actual measurement:
\(143^\circ\)
.
