Problem/activity:
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?

standard_description: Directly compare two objects with a measurable attribute in common, to see which object has “more of”/“less of” the attribute, and describe the difference. For example, directly compare the heights of two children and describe one child as taller/shorter.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to develop mathematical questions about their school community. This walk could also take place on the playground or in the local community.
MLR8 Discussion Supports.
Synthesis: As students share their questions, include a drawing or annotation to clarify any questions about context. Invite students to notice common language used in mathematical questions such as: how many, how much, which, more than, taller than, etc.
Advances: Speaking, Representing
