Concept/skill: 
Explain equivalence of fractions in special cases, and compare fractions by reasoning about their size.
 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: 
Yes. By arranging the fractions in this problem, students learn to compare fractions by reasoning about their size.

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

standard_description: Identify whether the number of objects in one group is greater than, less than, or equal to the number of objects in another group, e.g., by using matching and counting strategies (include groups with up to ten objects).
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this warm-up is for students to extend the verbal count sequence to 30. Students also see the numbers written as they say each number to help connect the number names to the written numbers. In the synthesis, students determine the next number in a count, which prepares them to count on from a given number. This deepens their understanding of the structure of the counting sequence (MP7).
Launch
Groups of 2
“Let’s count to 30.”
Activity
Count to 30 together.
Record as students count.
Count to thirty 1–2 times. Point to the numbers as students count.
