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: Display numerical data in plots on a number line, including dot plots, histograms, and box plots.
problem_activity: Task
Decide if the equations are true or false. Explain your answer.
4 x 5 = 20
34 = 7 x 5
3 x 6 = 9 x 2
5 x 8 = 10 x 4
6 x 9 = 5 x 10
2 x (3 x 4) = 8 x 3
8 x 6 = 7 x 6 + 6
4 x (10 + 2) = 40 + 2


aligns: no
