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: 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: Problem 1
__________ graham crackers are shared equally by __________ people.
a.   Choose numbers to fill in the blanks. You can only use each number once: 2, 3, 5.
b.   Represent the situation with a diagram or drawing.
c.   Explain or show how you know that each person will get the same amount of graham cracker.
Problem 2

a.   How do you know that each person gets about the same amount of graham cracker? Explain or show your thinking. Organize it so it can be followed by others.
b.   Draw a diagram to show a different way that 3 people could share 2 graham crackers so each person got about the same amount of graham cracker.
Problem 3
a.   Using the set of cards (cut out from
Template: Equal Shares
), match each representation with a situation and expression. Some situations and expressions will have more than one matching representation.
b.   Choose one set of matched cards.
