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: Write an inequality of the form x > c or x < c to represent a constraint or condition in a real-world or mathematical problem. Recognize that inequalities of the form x > c or x < c have infinitely many solutions; represent solutions of such inequalities on number line diagrams.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is to analyze a clock showing a time when it can be difficult to tell the difference between the hour and the minute hand. This activity allows students to discuss how they know where the hands are placed when the time is to the hour.
Launch
Groups of 2
Display the clock in the first problem.
“Diego and Priya read the clock and got two different times.”
“Who is correct? How do you know?”
Activity
2 minutes: partner discussion
5 minutes: independent work time
Monitor for a student who says the hour hand is pointing to 6 and one who says that for 12:30 the hour hand should be between 12 and 1.
Student Facing

Diego says this clock shows 6:00.
Priya says the clock shows 12:30.
Who do you agree with? Why?

Invite previously identified students to share.
“Why do you think Priya got mixed up? What could you say to help her revise her thinking?” (Priya mixed up the minute and hour hands. I could remind her that the short hand is the hour and the long hand is the minute. I could remind her that if it was 12:30 the hour hand would have to be between two numbers.)
“On the blank clock, draw hands to show 12:30.”
