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: 
Explain why a fraction a/b is equivalent to a fraction (n × a)/(n × b) by using visual fraction models, with attention to how the number and size of the parts differ even though the two fractions themselves are the same size. Use this principle to recognize and generate equivalent fractions.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 100.

Answer: 
Yes. This task asks students to compare two fractions that are equal. The students need to explain why the two fractions are equal by drawing a picture, which involves using visual fraction models.

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

standard_description: Calculate the distance between numbers in the complex plane as the modulus of the difference, and the midpoint of a segment as the average of the numbers at its endpoints.
problem_activity: Narrative
In this activity, students identify the nearest multiples of 10,000 and 100,000 for the six-digit numbers they saw in the first activity. They may do so by using the number lines from earlier, but they may also start to notice a pattern in the relationship between the numbers and the nearest multiples without the number lines (MP7).
MLR8 Discussion Supports.
Display sentence frames to support small-group discussion: “I noticed _____ so I . . .” and “I agree/disagree because . . . .”

Groups of 2 or 4
Display number line with endpoints of 100,000 and 200,000.
Activity
“Take a few quiet minutes to work on the activity. Then, share your responses with your group.”
6–7 minutes: independent work time
3–4 minutes: group discussion
Student Facing
Use the number line that represents the numbers between 100,000 and 200,000 for this activity.
Name the multiple of 10,000 that is the nearest to each number. (Leave the last column blank for now.)
| number  | nearest multiple of 10,000 | \(\phantom{nearest multiple}\) |
|---------|----------------------------|--------------------------------|
| 100,025 |                            |                                |
| 128,201 |                            |                                |
| 140,261 |                            |                                |
| 158,002 |                            |                                |
| 194,030 |                            |                                |
Here is the number line with 215,300 shown on it. Which multiple of 100,000 is the nearest to 215,300?
[IMG]
Label the last column in the table “nearest multiple of 100,000.” Then, name the nearest multiple of 100,000 for each number in the table.

Advancing Student Thinking
Students may see that the nearest multiples of 10,000 for a number are the two tick marks surrounding the point but may be unsure what numbers they represent. Ask them to recall what each tick mark represents on this set of number lines and urge them to count the marks.
Activity Synthesis
Display the blank table from the activity. Invite students to share their responses to complete the table. Discuss any disagreements.
Invite students to share how they identified the nearest multiples of 10,000 and 100,000.
If no students mentioned that they examined the location of each point visually and decided the closest tick marks on the number line, ask them about it.
