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.

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: Narrative
In this activity, students continue to use the relationship between multiplication and division to reason about situations that involve division. Students divide three-digit numbers by single-digit divisors and find results with and without a remainder.

Student Facing
Jada is writing multiples of a mystery number. After writing a bunch of numbers, she writes out 126.
Mai says 6 is the mystery number.
Priya says 8 is the mystery number.
Andre says 9 could be the mystery number.
Which student do you agree with? Show your reasoning and include equations.
Jada gives one more clue: “If I keep writing multiples, I’ll get to 153.”
What is the mystery number? Explain or show your reasoning.

Activity Synthesis
“How could we use division to help us find out the mystery number?” (If the result has a remainder, then the divisor could not be the mystery number. 153 divided by 6 has 3 as a remainder. 153 divided by 9 has no remainder, so 9 is the mystery number.)
