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: Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a fraction by a whole number.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 100.
problem_activity: Narrative
This warm-up prompts students to carefully analyze and compare features of expressions and equations. When students compare the drawing, expression, and equations, they must use language precisely to describe how each is the same or different (MP6). Listen to the language students use to describe the different characteristics of each expression and equation and connect students' language to the new terms, factor and product, that are introduced in the synthesis.

Activity Synthesis
“How is C different from the other ways we’ve represented equal groups before?” (It has an equal sign. It’s an equation.)
“C is a multiplication
equation
because it contains a multiplication symbol and the equal sign.”
“There are words that help us talk about different parts of the multiplication equation. The
factors
are the numbers being multiplied. The
product
is the result of multiplying some numbers. In the equation in C, the numbers 2 and 5 are the factors. The product is 10. Keep these words in mind today as we work with other multiplication equations.”
