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: Use addition and subtraction within 100 to solve one- and two-step word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to analyze what they have learned from the data and representations in the previous activities and to share their findings. In this activity, students select two things they learned and illustrate them using a tape diagram.
Monitor for tape diagrams that can be displayed during the lesson synthesis and compared to the bar graph selected in a previous activity. While the graph and diagram do not have to be from the same pair, it would be helpful for students to see data from the same survey displayed with different representations.
To add movement to this activity, consider a gallery walk. Students can make their diagrams on poster paper. As students walk around the room, they select a few diagrams and determine what information they learn about their class based on the diagram and equation.
Launch
Groups of 2
“You and your partner are going to draw a diagram. Your diagram should compare two facts you learned from your survey.”
“Decide with your partner which 2 facts you want to share with the class and how you will compare the two facts.”
1 minute: partner discussion.
Activity
5 minutes: independent work time
Students check in with their partners to be sure their representations make sense and are accurate.
3 minutes: partner discussion
Monitor for a few examples of accurate tape diagrams and equations.
Student Facing
Draw a diagram. Your diagram should compare two facts you learned from your survey.
Write an equation that represents the comparison.
