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.
Who is right? Draw a picture to help you explain your answer.


Description: 
Explain why a fraction a/b is equivalent to a fraction (n × a)/(n × b) by using visual fraction models, with attention to how the number and size of the parts differ even though the two fractions themselves are the same size. Use this principle to recognize and generate equivalent fractions.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 100.

Answer: 
Yes. This task asks students to compare two fractions that are equal. The students need to explain why the two fractions are equal by drawing a picture, which involves using visual fraction models.

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

standard_description: Determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or division equation relating three whole numbers. For example, determine the unknown number that makes the equation true in each of the equations 8 × ? = 48, 5 = �� ÷ 3, 6 × 6 = ?.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to practice finding the value of division expressions using any strategy that makes sense to them. They may divide the dividend into equal groups or use the divisor to multiply up to the given dividend. They may choose to represent the division or multiplication with base-ten blocks or by drawing diagrams.
During the synthesis, highlight strategies that rely on place value, properties of operations, and the relationship between multiplication and division (MP7).
Representation: Develop Language and Symbols.
Synthesis: Make connections between representations visible. Elicit from students the connections between the different strategies and representations shared by students.
Supports accessibility for: Visual-Spatial Processing, Conceptual Processing
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Base-ten blocks
Materials to Copy
Centimeter Grid Paper - Standard
Launch
Groups of 2
Give students access to base-ten blocks and grid paper.
Activity
“Find the value of each quotient. You can use whatever strategy or representation you prefer.”
8–10 minutes: independent work time
Monitor for a variety of strategies and representations. Identify students to share in the synthesis.
“Share your favorite way to divide with your partner.”
2–3 minutes: partner discussion
Student Facing
Find the value of each quotient. Explain or show your reasoning. Organize it so it can be followed by others.
\(80 \div 5\)
\(68 \div 4\)
\(91 \div 7\)
If you have time: Eighty-four students on a field trip are put into groups. Each group has 14 students. How many groups are there?
