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.

In the triangle pictured above show that
$$
\left(\frac{|AB|}{|AC|}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{|BC|}{|AC|}\right)^2 = 1
$$
Deduce that $\sin^2{\theta} + \cos^2{\theta} = 1$ for any acute angle $\theta$.
If $\theta$ is in the second quadrant and $\sin{\theta} = \frac{8}{17}$ what can you say about  $\cos{\theta}$?  Draw a picture and explain.
