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.


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

standard_description: Recognize a line of symmetry for a two-dimensional figure as a line across the figure such that the figure can be folded along the line into matching parts. Identify line-symmetric figures and draw lines of symmetry.
problem_activity: Narrative
In this activity, students identify right triangles. They also explain why certain given shapes are not right triangles. As they determine whether a triangle is a right triangle, students may use the corner of an index card or a piece of paper, use a protractor, or trace an angle in a triangle to compare with an angle elsewhere that they know to be a right angle. In doing so, students practice choosing tools strategically (MP5).
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Index cards
Patty paper
Protractors
Launch
Groups of 2
Provide access to index cards, patty paper, and protractors.
Activity
5 minutes: independent work time
2 minutes: partner discussion
Monitor for students who use tools to check angles and those who estimate them visually. Ask the latter: “How might we check that the angles that look like right angles are
\(90^\circ\)
?”
Student Facing
Identify all shapes that are right triangles. For each right triangle, mark the right angle with a small square.

Explain why the other shapes are not right triangles.

Advancing Student Thinking
Students may not identify triangles C or D because of the orientation.
Consider asking:
“How can we show that a triangle has a right angle?”
“Where else do you see triangles that may have perpendicular sides?”
“What tools could you use to see if each triangle has any right angles?”
Activity Synthesis
Invite students to share their responses and how they found the right triangles in the set.
“Were there any triangles that appeared to be right triangles but are not, or don’t appear to be right triangles but are?” (Triangle H looks like one but isn’t.)
