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.

Pictured below are the graphs of four different functions, defined in terms of eight constants:  $a, b, c, k, m, p, q, \text{ and } r.$  The equations of the functions are:
$y=mx+b$
$y=a\cos(x)+c$
$y=qr^x$
$y=kx^p$
[IMG]
Match each equation with its graph.
Use the graphs to answer the following questions.  Justify your answers with appropriate explanations.
Which of the 8 constants are definitely negative?
Which of the 8 constants are definitely positive?
Which of the 8 constants are  definitely greater than zero but less than one?
Which of the 8 constants are definitely greater than one?
