Example:
Concept/skill: 
Compare two decimals to hundredths by reasoning about their size. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two decimals refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with the symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual model.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 100.

Problem/activity:
Task
Cruz and Erica were both getting ready for soccer.
Cruz ran 1 lap around the school.
Erica ran 3 laps around the playground.
Erica said,
I ran more laps, so I ran farther.
Cruz said,
4 laps around the school is 1 mile, but it takes 12 laps around the playground to go 1 mile. My laps are much longer, so I ran farther.
Who is right? Draw a picture to help you explain your answer.


Answer: 
No. This task does not involve comparing decimals to hundredths. Instead, it involves fraction comparisons.

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

standard_description: Measure to determine how much longer one object is than another, expressing the length difference in terms of a standard length unit.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this Number Talk is to elicit strategies and understandings students have for making 10 when adding. These understandings help students develop fluency with operations within 20.
When students look for ways to rearrange and decompose numbers to make 10, they notice and make use of structure of expressions and whole numbers (MP7).
Launch
Display one expression.
“Give me a signal when you have an answer and can explain how you got it.”
1 minute: think time
Activity
Record answers and strategies.
Keep expressions and work displayed.
Repeat for each expression.
Student Facing
Find the value of each sum mentally.
