Example:
Concept/skill: 
Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division and of fractions to multiply and divide rational numbers.

Problem/activity:
For each pair of numbers, determine if the values are equivalent. Explain your reasoning for each one.
a.
$$-0.25$$
and
$$\frac{1}{-4}$$
b.
$$-\left ( \frac{1}{4} \right )$$
and
$$\frac{-1}{-4}$$
c.
$$\frac{-1}{4}$$
and
$$-\frac{1}{4}$$


Answer: 
Yes. This problem involves understanding fractions and division to divide rational numbers, such as 1, -4, 4, and -1. This problem also involves an understanding of multiplication: if p and q are integers, then -(p/q) = (-p)/q = p/(-q).

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

standard_description: Express the length of an object as a whole number of length units, by laying multiple copies of a shorter object (the length unit) end to end; understand that the length measurement of an object is the number of same-size length units that span it with no gaps or overlaps. Limit to contexts where the object being measured is spanned by a whole number of length units with no gaps or overlaps.
problem_activity: Task
Suppose $\triangle ABC$ and $\triangle DEF$ share three corresponding congruent sides as pictured below:
[IMG]
Show that $\triangle ABC$ is congruent ot $\triangle DEF$ as follows:
Apply a translation to move $\triangle ABC$ to $\triangle A^\prime B^\prime C^\prime$ with $A^\prime = D$.
Apply a rotation to move $\triangle A^\prime B^\prime C^\prime$ to $A^{\prime \prime}B^{\prime \prime}C^{\prime \prime}$ with $A^{\prime \prime} = D$ and $B^{\prime \prime} = E$.
Explain why $\left|A^{\prime \prime}C^{\prime \prime}\right| = \left|DF\right|$ and conclude that $\overleftrightarrow{DE}$ is the perpendicular bisector of $\overline{C^{\prime \prime}F}$.
Show that reflection over $\overleftrightarrow{DE}$ maps $F$ to $C^{\prime \prime}$ and conclude that $\triangle ABC$ is congruent to $\triangle DEF$.
