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

standard_description: Use place value understanding to round decimals to any place.
problem_activity: Problem 1
Act 1: Watch the following video –
The Big Pad (Act: 1)
a.   What do you notice? What do you wonder?
b.   What is the area, in square centimeters, of the big pad? Make an estimate.
Problem 2
Act 2: Use the following information to solve -
The small pad is a square with a length of
$$7\frac{3}{5}$$
cm.
The big pad is also a square and has a length equal to
$$3\frac{2}{3}$$
small pads.
Problem 3
Act 3: Reveal the answer -
The area of the big pad is
$$776\frac{124}{225}$$
square centimeters. Was your answer reasonable? Why or why not?
Problem 4
Act 4 (the sequel): Look at the following image of the dimensions mentioned on the big pad -
[IMG]
Do these dimensions result in the same area as what we computed in Anchor Task #3? Why or why not?
