Example:
Concept/skill: 
Compare two decimals to hundredths by reasoning about their size. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two decimals refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with the symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual model.
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: 
No. This task does not involve comparing decimals to hundredths. Instead, it involves fraction comparisons.

standard_description: Explain how the unit circle in the coordinate plane enables the extension of trigonometric functions to all real numbers, interpreted as radian measures of angles traversed counterclockwise around the unit circle.
problem_activity: Warm-up
The purpose of this warm-up is to prepare students for “unwrapping” the unit circle in the next activity and seeing what the graphs of
\(y=\cos(x)\)
and
\(y=\sin(x)\)
look like for the first time in this unit. Part of thinking of cosine and sine as functions is understanding their input and output. The prompts in this activity ask students to informally describe the output of the two trigonometric functions by focusing on each coordinate of a point on the unit circle.
Launch

Student Facing
Suppose there is a point
\(P\)
on the unit circle at
\((1,0)\)
.

Describe how the
\(x\)
-coordinate of
\(P\)
changes as it rotates once counterclockwise around the circle.
