Example:
Concept/skill: 
Explain why a fraction a/b is equivalent to a fraction (n × a)/(n × b) by using visual fraction models, with attention to how the number and size of the parts differ even though the two fractions themselves are the same size. Use this principle to recognize and generate equivalent fractions.
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: 
Yes. This task asks students to compare two fractions that are equal. The students need to explain why the two fractions are equal by drawing a picture, which involves using visual fraction models.

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

standard_description: Compare properties of two functions each represented in a different way (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or by verbal descriptions). For example, given a linear function represented by a table of values and a linear function represented by an algebraic expression, determine which function has the greater rate of change.
problem_activity: Task
Suppose $P_1 = (0,5)$ and $P_2 = (3,−3)$. Sketch $P_1$ and
$P_2$. For which real numbers $m$ and $b$ does the graph of a linear function described by the equation $f(x) = mx+b$ contain $P_1$? Explain. Do any of these graphs also contain $P_2$? Explain.
Suppose $P_1 = (0,5)$ and $P_2 = (0,7)$.  Sketch $P_1$ and $P_2$.  Are there real numbers $m$ and $b$ for which the graph of a linear function described by the equation $f(x)=mx+b$ contains $P_1$ and $P_2$? Explain.
Now suppose $P_1= (c,d)$ and $P_2 = (g,h)$ and $c$ is not equal to $g$. Show that there is only one real number $m$ and only one real number $b$ for which the graph of $f(x)=mx+b$ contains the points $P_1$ and $P_2$.
