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: Derive the formula A = 1/2 ab sin(C) for the area of a triangle by drawing an auxiliary line from a vertex perpendicular to the opposite side.
problem_activity: Narrative
This warm-up prompts students to carefully analyze and compare attributes of two-dimensional figures with attention to the number of sides, symmetry, and presence of parallel and perpendicular lines. The activity enables the teacher to observe the attributes that students notice intuitively and hear the terminologies they feel comfortable using.

Activity Synthesis
If no students mention parallel sides as an attribute to consider, ask them about it.
Consider asking: “Let’s find at least one reason why each one doesn’t belong.”
