Example:
Concept/skill: 
Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a fraction or whole number by a fraction.

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: 
No. The expressions shown in this problem do not involve multiplying fractions with other fractions, nor whole numbers with fractions.

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

standard_description: Compose simple shapes to form larger shapes. For example, “Can you join these two triangles with full sides touching to make a rectangle?”
problem_activity: Task
Below is a table of diameters of different denominations of United States
Coins:
| Denomination | Diameter  |
|--------------|-----------|
|     Dime     | $17.9$ mm |
|    Nickel    | $21.2$ mm |
|   Quarter    | $24.3$ mm |
| Half Dollar  | $30.6$ mm |
If we place nickels around a central dime, as in the picture below, there is room
for five nickels with extra space but not enough room for a sixth nickel:
[IMG]
How many dimes fit around a central dime?  What about around a
central nickel, quarter, or half dollar?  Do the dimes fit snugly or is there
extra space?
How many half dollars fit around a central dime?  What about around
a central nickel, quarter, or half dollar?  Do the half dollars fit snugly or
is there extra room?
Extending the work in (a) and (b) above, for positive numbers $r$ and $s$
how many circles of radius $s$ will fit around a central circle of radius $r$?
