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

standard_description: Multiply a vector by a scalar.
problem_activity: Stage 2: Numbers 11 - 20
Required Preparation
Materials to Gather
Colored pencils, crayons, or markers
Connecting cubes
Materials to Copy
Blackline Masters
Number Mat 11–20
Number Race Stage 2 Recording Sheet for Writing
Number Race Stage 2 Recording Sheet for Tracing

Narrative
Students take turns rolling a connecting cube onto a number mat and write the number (11–20) they land on, on the recording sheet. Students may want to use colored pencils to write the numbers.
Variation:
Students may use the blackline master that allows them to trace each number to support their number writing skills.
Additional Information
Each group of 2 needs 1 connecting cube.
