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: Recognize and represent proportional relationships between quantities.
problem_activity: Task
Nia and Trey both had a sore throat so their mom told them to gargle with warm salt water.
$\hskip30pt$ Nia mixed 1 teaspoon salt with 3 cups water.
$\hskip30pt$ Trey mixed $\frac12$ teaspoon salt with $1 \frac12$ cups of water.
Nia tasted Trey’s salt water. She said,
“I added more salt so I expected that mine would be more salty, but they taste the same.”
Explain why the salt water mixtures taste the same.
Which of the following equations relates $s$, the number of teaspoons of salt, with $w$, the number of cups of water, for both of these mixtures? Choose all that apply.
$s = \frac13 w$
$s = 3w$
$s = 1\frac12 w$
$w = 3s$
$w = \frac13 s$
$w = \frac12 s$


aligns: yes
