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: 
Understand a fraction as a number on the number line; represent fractions on a number line diagram.
 Grade 3 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8.

Answer: 
No. Completing this task does not involve representing fractions on a number line diagram.

Now, assess whether the following problem or activity aligns with the provided description.

standard_description: Recognize angles as geometric shapes that are formed wherever two rays share a common endpoint, and understand concepts of angle measurement:
- An angle is measured with reference to a circle with its center at the common endpoint of the rays, by considering the fraction of the circular arc between the points where the two rays intersect the circle. An angle that turns through 1/360 of a circle is called a “one-degree angle,” and can be used to measure angles.
- An angle that turns through n one-degree angles is said to have an angle measure of n degrees.
problem_activity: Narrative
This Number Talk encourages students to think about equivalent forms of whole numbers and decomposing fractions in order to subtract. When students consider equivalent fractions, look for ways to decompose fractions, or use the structure of mixed numbers to find the value of each difference, they look for and make use of structure (MP7).

Activity
1 minute: quiet think time
Record answers and strategy.
Keep expressions and work displayed.
Repeat with each expression.
Student Facing
Find the value of each expression mentally.
\(1 - \frac{8}{10}\)
\(1\frac{4}{10} - \frac{8}{10}\)
\(2\frac{4}{10} - \frac{8}{10}\)
\(10\frac{5}{10} - \frac{8}{10}\)

Activity Synthesis
“How are these expressions alike?” (They all involve subtracting
\(\frac{8}{10}\)
from a number that is at least 1. To subtract, it’s helpful or necessary to decompose a 1 or to write an equivalent fraction.)
“How did you use earlier expressions to help you find the value of later expressions?”
