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} $

Description: 
Understand a fraction as a number on the number line; represent fractions on a number line diagram.
 Grade 3 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8.

Answer: 
No. Completing this task does not involve representing fractions on a number line diagram.

Now, assess whether the following problem or activity aligns with the provided description.

standard_description: Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide. (Students need not use formal terms for these properties.) ^( )Examples: If 6 × 4 = 24 is known, then 4 × 6 = 24 is also known. (Commutative property of multiplication.) 3 × 5 × 2 can be found by 3 × 5 = 15, then 15 × 2 = 30, or by 5 × 2 = 10, then 3 × 10 = 30. (Associative property of multiplication.) Knowing that 8 × 5 = 40 and 8 × 2 = 16, one can find 8 × 7 as 8 × (5 + 2) = (8 × 5) + (8 × 2) = 40 + 16 = 56. (Distributive property.)
problem_activity: Task
The profit, $P$ (in thousands of dollars), that a company makes selling an item is a quadratic function of the price, $x$ (in dollars), that they charge for the item. The following expressions for $P(x)$ are equivalent:
$$\begin{align}P(x)=&-2x^2+24x-54\\
P(x)=&-2(x-3)(x-9)\\
P(x)=&-2(x-6)^2+18
\end{align}$$
Which of the equivalent expressions for $P(x)$ reveals the price which gives a profit of zero without changing the form of the expression?
P(x)= -2x$^2$+24x-54
P(x)= -2(x-3)(x-9)
P(x)= -2(x-6)$^2$+18
Find a price which gives a profit of zero.
Which of the equivalent expressions for $P(x)$ reveals the profit when the price is zero without changing the form of the expression?
P(x)= -2x$^2$+24x-54
P(x)= -2(x-3)(x-9)
P(x)= -2(x-6)$^2$+18
Find the profit when the price is zero.
Which of the equivalent expressions for $P(x)$ reveals the price which produces the highest possible profit without changing the form of the expression?
P(x)= -2x$^2$+24x-54
P(x)= -2(x-3)(x-9)
P(x)= -2(x-6)$^2$+18
Find the price which gives the highest possible profit.
For each of parts (a), (c), and (e), students choose which form of the function is displayed, and then use that to answer the corresponding questions in parts (b), (d), and (f) respectively.  Students are assessed both on selecting the correct form of the function and on their numerical answer for each part.
