Example:
Concept/skill: 
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.

Problem/activity:
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} $

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

Now, determine whether the following problem or activity can enable students to understand the concepts or skills in the provided description.

standard_description: Display numerical data in plots on a number line, including dot plots, histograms, and box plots.
problem_activity: Optional activity
In this activity, students calculate benchmark percentages. Students are likely to calculate the answers quickly They are to spend the majority of the task time discussing how they reason about the questions.
Launch
Give students quiet think time to complete the activity and then time to share their explanation with a partner.
Representation: Internalize Comprehension.
Provide appropriate reading accommodations and supports to ensure students access to written directions, word problems and other text-based content.
Supports accessibility for: Language; Conceptual processing
Student Facing
Match the percentage that describes the relationship between each pair of numbers. One percentage will be left over. Be prepared to explain your reasoning.
7 is what percentage of 14?
5 is what percentage of 20?
3 is what percentage of 30?
6 is what percentage of 8?
20 is what percentage of 5?
4%
10%
25%
50%
75%
400%

Anticipated Misconceptions
Because 5 goes into 20 four times, students may answer that 5 is 4% of 20. If this happens, explain that 5 is really
\(\frac14\)
of 20 and ask them what percentage represents one quarter.
Activity Synthesis
Invite students to share their mental math strategies. If needed, consider illustrating the relationship between of
\(B\)
and
\(C\)
(where
\(A\%\)
of
\(B\)
is
\(C\)
) using tape diagrams or double number line diagrams to help students visualize the association between the benchmark percentages and fractions.
