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.

Description: 
Compare two decimals to hundredths by reasoning about their size. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two decimals refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with the symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual model.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 100.

Answer: 
No. This task does not involve comparing decimals to hundredths. Instead, it involves fraction comparisons.

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

Complete the table. In the third column, show your work as demonstrated. What do you notice about the 3rd column?
{"table": [{"tbody": [{"tr": [{"th": [{"_value": "$x$"}, {"_value": "$y=2x+5$"}, {"_value": "$\\Delta y$"}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "1"}, {"_value": "7"}, {"_value": "----"}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "2"}, {"_value": "9"}, {"_value": "9 - 7 = 2"}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "3"}, {}, {}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "4"}, {}, {}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "5"}, {}, {}]}]}]}]}
Complete the table, showing your work as above. What do you notice about the 3rd column? What is the graphical interpretation of this?
{"table": [{"tbody": [{"tr": [{"th": [{"_value": "$x$"}, {"_value": "$y=ax+b$"}, {"_value": "$\\Delta y$"}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "1"}, {"_value": "$a\\cdot\u00a01 +b$"}, {"_value": "---"}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "2"}, {"_value": "$a \\cdot\u00a02 +b$"}, {"_value": "$a\\cdot\u00a02+b - (a\\cdot\u00a01 + b) = a$"}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "3"}, {}, {}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "4"}, {}, {}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "5"}, {}, {}]}]}]}]}
Let $y=ax+b$. Let $x_0$ be any particular $x$-value. Show that if $x_0$ is increased by 1, the corresponding $\Delta y$ is a constant that does not depend on $x_0$. What is this constant?
Does (a) serve as an example of the result in (c) ? Explain.
