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: Represent data with plots on the real number line (dot plots, histograms, and box plots).
problem_activity: A city planner for a neighborhood of Boston is trying to determine if a new park should be built in the neighborhood. She goes around the neighborhood, knocking on doors, asking, “How many children under the age of 7 live in this household?” The data she collected from 28 households is shown in the frequency table below.
| **           # of children under 7 years old in the household          ** | **           Frequency          ** |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------|
|                                     0                                     |                 9                  |
|                                     1                                     |                 6                  |
|                                     2                                     |                 8                  |
|                                     3                                     |                 4                  |
|                                     4                                     |                 0                  |
|                                     5                                     |                 1                  |
a.   Create a dot plot to represent the data. Describe your dot plot in words.
b.   What number would you use to represent the center of the data? Explain why you chose that number.
c.   Based on the data, what would you recommend to the city planner about the new park? Does this neighborhood seem like a good place to put the new park? Explain why or why not using the data.
