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: Solve quadratic equations in one variable.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to write a
\(10 + n\)
expression that is equal to a given expression. Each expression given has three addends, two of which make a ten.
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Connecting cubes or two-color counters
Double 10-frames
Launch
Groups of 2
Give students access to double 10-frames and connecting cubes or two-color counters.
“Now you will write a
\(10 + n\)
expression with the same value as each of the given expressions.”
Activity
5 minutes: independent work time
3 minutes: partner discussion
Student Facing
Write a
\(10 + \boxed{\phantom{3}}\)
expression that has the same value as each expression.
\(5 + 7 + 5\)
\(3 + 7 + 6\)
\(1 + 9 + 9\)
\(4 + 8 + 6\)
\(8 + 10 + 2\)
If you have time, write as many expressions as you can with 3 numbers that are equal to
\(10 + 5\)
.

Activity Synthesis
Display each
\(10 + n\)
expression.
“In order to make adding three numbers easier, we can rewrite each expression as a
\(10 + \boxed{\phantom{3}}\)
expression.”
Invite students to say the value of each
\(10 + n\)
expression together.
