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.

standard_description: Understand that a function is a rule that assigns to each input exactly one output. The graph of a function is the set of ordered pairs consisting of an input and the corresponding output. (Function notation is not required in Grade 8.)
problem_activity: Task
A function machine takes an input, and based on some rule produces an output.

The tables below show some input-output pairs for different functions. For each table, describe a function rule in words that would produce the given outputs from the corresponding inputs. Then fill in the rest of the table values as inputs and outputs which are consistent with that rule.
Input values can be any English word. Output values are letters from the English alphabet.

{"table": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["regular"]}, "tbody": [{"tr": [{"th": [{"_value": "input"}], "td": [{"_value": "cat"}, {"_value": "house"}, {"_value": "you"}, {"_value": "stem"}, {"_value": "$\\ \\ \\ \\ \\ $"}, {"_value": "$\\ \\ \\ \\ \\ $"}, {"_value": "$\\ \\ \\ \\ \\ $"}]}, {"th": [{"_value": "output"}], "td": [{"_value": "t"}, {"_value": "e"}, {"_value": "u"}, {}, {"_value": "z"}, {}, {}]}]}]}]}
Input values can be any rational number. Output values can be any rational number.
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["regular"]}, "tbody": [{"tr": [{"th": [{"_value": "input"}], "td": [{"_value": "$2$"}, {"_value": "$5$"}, {"_value": "$-1.53$"}, {"_value": "$0$"}, {"_value": "$-4 $"}, {"_value": "$\\ \\ \\ \\ \\ $"}, {"_value": "$\\ \\ \\ \\ \\ $"}]}, {"th": [{"_value": "output"}], "td": [{"_value": "$7$"}, {"_value": "$10$"}, {"_value": "$3.47$"}, {"_value": "$5$"}, {}, {"_value": "$8$"}, {}]}]}]}]}
Input values can be any whole number. Output values can be any whole number.
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["regular"]}, "tbody": [{"tr": [{"th": [{"_value": "input"}], "td": [{"_value": "$1$"}, {"_value": "$2$"}, {"_value": "$3$"}, {"_value": "$4$"}, {"_value": "$5$"}, {"_value": "$6$"}, {"_value": "$7$"}]}, {"th": [{"_value": "output"}], "td": [{"_value": "$2$"}, {"_value": "$1$"}, {"_value": "$4$"}, {"_value": "$\\ \\ \\ \\ \\ $"}, {}, {}, {}]}]}]}]}
Input values can be any whole number between 1 and 365. Output values can be any month of the year.
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["regular"]}, "tbody": [{"tr": [{"th": [{"_value": "input"}], "td": [{"_value": "25"}, {"_value": "365"}, {"_value": "35"}, {"_value": "95"}, {"_value": "330"}, {"_value": "66"}, {}]}, {"th": [{"_value": "output"}], "td": [{"_value": "January"}, {"_value": "December"}, {"_value": "February"}, {"_value": "April"}, {"_value": "November"}, {"_value": "$\\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ $"}, {"_value": "October"}]}]}]}]}
For at least one of the tables, describe a second rule which fits the given pairs but ultimately produces different pairs than the first rule for the rest of the table.
