Example:
Concept/skill: 
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.

Problem/activity:
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.


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

standard_description: Add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals to hundredths, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method and explain the reasoning used.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to ask and answer questions using their bar graphs from a previous activity. Students work with the group they collected survey data with to create questions that can be answered with their bar graphs. Then students are paired up with a new partner to use these questions to practice solving one- and two-step “how many more” and “how many fewer” problems using information presented in scaled bar graphs (MP2).
MLR8 Discussion Supports.
Prior to solving the problems, invite students to make sense of the bar graphs and take turns sharing their understanding with their partner. Listen for and clarify any questions about the context.
Advances: Speaking, Representing
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Materials from a previous activity
Required Preparation
Each group needs the bar graphs they created in the previous activity.
Launch
Groups of 4
“Work with your group to complete these sentences to write questions that could be answered with your bar graph.”
5–7 minutes: small-group work time
Have each group share one of their questions and how they came up with the question.
Activity
Groups of 2
Be sure students have a partner that wasn’t in their group in the previous activity.
“Use your partner's graph to answer the questions your partner wrote. They’ll answer your questions while you’re answering theirs. Then you’ll spend a few minutes checking each other’s work.”
7–10 minutes: partner work time
Have students switch partners again and repeat as time permits.
Student Facing
Write questions that could be answered with your bar graph by completing these sentences.
How many more students liked ___________________________
than ___________________________ ?
How many fewer students liked ___________________________than
