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: Use variables to represent two quantities in a real-world problem that change in relationship to one another; write an equation to express one quantity, thought of as the dependent variable, in terms of the other quantity, thought of as the independent variable. Analyze the relationship between the dependent and independent variables using graphs and tables, and relate these to the equation. For example, in a problem involving motion at constant speed, list and graph ordered pairs of distances and times, and write the equation d = 65t to represent the relationship between distance and time.
problem_activity: Optional activity
In this activity, students consider a doubling relationship where the exponent is a variable. Monitor for students who connect this activity to the lessons on exponents, or who recognize that the quantities in this relationship are changing with respect to each other in a different manner than previous examples they have seen. Have these students share during the discussion.

A researcher who is studying mosquito populations collects the following data:
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"border": "1"}, "thead": [{"tr": [{"th": [{"_attributes": {"scope": "col"}, "br": [{}], "_values": ["day in", "the study"], "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math", "math-repaired"], "data-png-file-id": "9550"}, "_value": "\\((d)\\)"}]}, {"_attributes": {"scope": "col"}, "br": [{}], "_values": ["number of", "mosquitoes"], "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math", "math-repaired"], "data-png-file-id": "9559"}, "_value": "\\((n)\\)"}]}]}]}], "tbody": [{"tr": [{"td": [{"_value": "1"}, {"_value": "2"}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "2"}, {"_value": "4"}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "3"}, {"_value": "8"}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "4"}, {"_value": "16"}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "5"}, {"_value": "32"}]}]}]}]}
The researcher said that, for these five days, the number of mosquitoes,
\(n\)
, can be found with the equation
\(n = 2^d\)
where
\(d\)
is the day in the study. Explain why this equation matches the data.
Use the ordered pairs in the table to graph the relationship between number of mosquitoes and day in the study for these five days.
Describe the graph. Compare how the data, equation, and graph illustrate the relationship between the day in the study and the number of mosquitoes.
If the pattern continues, how many mosquitoes will there be on day 6?

Activity Synthesis
The purpose of this discussion is to help students make connections between the table, graph, and equation that describe this situation. Ask students to share who connected this activity to the lessons on exponents, or who recognize that the quantities in this relationship are changing with respect to each other in a different manner than previous examples they have seen.
Consider asking some of these questions:
“Which of the data, equation, or graph gives you more of a feel for how the mosquito population changes with the day in the study?”
“Think back to the lesson on exponents with the dot pattern and the Genie activity. How do those situations compare with this mosquito situation? How would tables of data, graphs, and equations compare?”
“What are some similarities and differences you noticed between all the relationships you've seen in the last few lessons?”
Speaking, Listening: MLR8 Discussion Supports.
To support whole-class discussion, display sentence frames such as, “The dot pattern is similar to/ different than the mosquito situation because ________,” and “The genie situation is similar to/ different than the mosquito situation because ________.” This routine will support rich and inclusive discussion about the similarities and differences between all of the relationships students have seen in the last few lessons.
