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.

problem_activity: Problem 1
A ball is thrown straight up from the top of a
$${48}$$
-foot tall building with an initial speed of
$${32}$$
feet per second. The height of the ball as a function of time can be modeled by the function
$$h(t)=-16t^2+{32}t+{48}$$
. Below is a graph and table of the function.

Problem 2
The table below represents the value of Andrew’s stock portfolio, where
$$V$$
represents the value of the portfolio in hundreds of dollars and
$$t$$
is the time in months since he started investing. Answer the questions that follow based on the table of values.

Assuming this data is quadratic, how much did Andrew invest in his stock initially? Explain how you arrived at this answer.
What is the maximum value of his stock and how long did it take to reach the maximum value?
After approximately how many months is Andrew’s stock portfolio valued at $0?
How fast is Andrew’s stock value decreasing between months 10 and 12? Find a two-month interval where the average rate of change is faster than it is between months 10 and 12 and explain why.
