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: Generate measurement data by measuring lengths of several objects to the nearest whole unit, or by making repeated measurements of the same object. Show the measurements by making a line plot, where the horizontal scale is marked off in whole-number units.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to write numbers between 95 and 120. Groups create posters that show a drawing of how they counted their animal measurements from the last activity. Groups should not write a number for the final measurement on the poster. Students do a gallery walk to interpret each representation and record the count with a number in their workbooks. Group members then compare their counts and written numbers.
When students look at the different representations and determine the length of each animal, they may notice that the representation may help to accurately find the value. For example, students may draw groups of 10 cubes rather than every individual cube (MP7).

Activity
MLR7 Compare and Connect
“Create a poster to show how you counted the cubes you used to measure the length of the animal in the measuring animals activity. Do not write the number of cubes your animal measured on your poster.”
5 minutes: group work time
“Now we will do a gallery walk to see different representations of your measurements. As you look at each poster, use the representation to determine the length of the animal. Write the number of cubes that represents its length in your book.”
7 minutes: gallery walk
Student Facing
For each animal, write the number of cubes that represent its length.
The beaver is ______________________ long.
The dog is ______________________ long.
The giant anteater is ______________________ long.
The raccoon is ______________________ long.
The red fox is ______________________ long.
The snake is ______________________ long.

Activity Synthesis
Display the snake and giant anteater posters.
“How do I write the number that represents the length of the snake?”
“Where do you see 100 in this poster? Where do you see 5?”
Repeat for giant anteater.
