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.

standard_description: Construct linear and exponential functions, including arithmetic and geometric sequences, given a graph, a description of a relationship, or two input-output pairs (include reading these from a table).
problem_activity: 1. A youth group has a yard sale to raise money for a charity. The group earns $800 but decides to put its money in the bank for a while. The group considers two different banks:
Cool Bank pays simple interest at a rate of 4%, and the youth group plans to leave the money in the bank for 3 years.
Hot Bank pays an interest rate of 3% compounded annually, and the youth group plans to leave the money in the bank for 5 years.
Write a function to represent the amount of money earned at each bank. Then determine how much money the youth group would earn in each situation.
2. If the youth group needs the money quickly, which is the better choice? Explain your reasoning.
