Example:
Concept/skill: 
Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division and of fractions to multiply and divide rational numbers.

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: 
Yes. This problem involves understanding fractions and division to divide rational numbers, such as 1, -4, 4, and -1. This problem also involves an understanding of multiplication: if p and q are integers, then -(p/q) = (-p)/q = p/(-q).

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

standard_description: Find all factor pairs for a whole number in the range 1–100. Recognize that a whole number is a multiple of each of its factors. Determine whether a given whole number in the range 1–100 is a multiple of a given one-digit number. Determine whether a given whole number in the range 1–100 is prime or composite.
problem_activity: Task
Sketch  graphs of the functions $f$ and $F$ given by $f(x)= |x|$ and $F(x) = x^2$
for $-2 \leq x \leq 2$.
Suppose $g$ is the function given by  $g(x) = \frac{f(x)}{x}$ for  $x \neq 0$ and
$G$ is the function given by  $G(x) = \frac{F(x)}{x}$ for $x \neq 0$.
Sketch  graphs of the functions $g$ and $G$  for $x \neq 0$ and $-2 \leq x \leq 2$.
Is there a natural way to define $g$ and $G$ when $x =0$? Explain.
