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?

Below is a table showing the approximate boiling point of water at different elevations:
| Elevation (meters above sea level) | Boiling Point (degrees Celsius) |
|------------------------------------|---------------------------------|
|                 0                  |               100               |
|                500                 |              98.2               |
|                1000                |              96.5               |
|                1500                |              94.7               |
|                2000                |              93.1               |
|                2500                |              91.3               |
Based on the table,
if we were to model the relationship between the elevation and the boiling point of water, would a linear function be appropriate? Explain why or why not.
Below are some additional values for the boiling point of water at higher elevations:
| Elevation (meters above sea level) | Boiling Point (degrees Celsius) |
|------------------------------------|---------------------------------|
|               5,000                |              83.2               |
|               6,000                |              80.3               |
|               7,000                |              77.2               |
|               8,000                |              74.3               |
|               9,000                |              71.5               |
Based on the table,
if we were to model the relationship between the elevation and the boiling point of water, would a linear function be appropriate? Explain why or why not.
When the information from both tables is combined, would a linear function be appropriate to model this data?  What kind of function would you use to model the data?  Why?
