Example:
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.

Now, assess whether the following problem or activity is 'aligned' with the given Common Core standard in Mathematics.

Problem 2
Yoshiro has a new puppy. She decides to create an enclosure for her puppy in her backyard. The enclosure is in the shape of a hexagon, with one pair of opposite sides running the same distance along the length of two parallel flowerbeds. A sketch of the enclosure is shown below.
[IMG]
If the perimeter of the enclosure is 137 feet, what is the length of each side that runs along the flowerbed, labeled
$$n$$
in the diagram? Write an equation to represent the situation, and solve using algebraic properties.
