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.

standard_description: Give an informal argument for the formulas for the circumference of a circle, area of a circle, volume of a cylinder, pyramid, and cone. Use dissection arguments, Cavalieri’s principle, and informal limit arguments.
problem_activity: Task
Suppose $f$ is the map of the plane which takes each point $(x,y)$ to the point $(x-3,y)$ and $g$ is the map of the plane that takes each $(x,y)$ to $(3x,y)$.
Below is a triangle $ABC$.
[IMG]
Show the image of $\triangle ABC$ after applying each of the maps $f$ and $g$.
Does $f$ preserve distances and angles? Explain.
Does $g$ preserve distances and angles? Explain.
