Concept/skill: 
Explain why a fraction a/b is equivalent to a fraction (n × a)/(n × b) by using visual fraction models, with attention to how the number and size of the parts differ even though the two fractions themselves are the same size. Use this principle to recognize and generate equivalent fractions.
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: 
Yes. This task asks students to compare two fractions that are equal. The students need to explain why the two fractions are equal by drawing a picture, which involves using visual fraction models.

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

standard_description: Describe objects in the environment using names of shapes, and describe the relative positions of these objects using terms such as above, below, beside, in front of, behind, and next to.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to put numbers 1–20 in order.
MLR8 Discussion Supports.
Invite each group to chorally read numbers 1–20 in order once the group agrees on the order. Listen for and clarify questions.
Advances: Speaking, Conversing
Required Materials
Materials to Copy
Number Cards 1-20
Required Preparation
Create a set of cards from the blackline master for each group of 4.
Launch
Groups of 4
Give each group of students a set of number cards, not in sequence.
Activity
“Work with your group to put the numbers in order from 1 to 20.”
3 minutes: small-group work time
“Once your group agrees that the numbers are in the correct order, write the numbers in order from 1 to 20.”
3 minutes: independent work time
Student Facing

Activity Synthesis
“How did you decide the order of the numbers?”
Display numbers 1–12 in order.
“Clare is putting the numbers in order. What would you say to her to help her find the number that comes next?” (Look for 13 because it comes after 12. Look for the number that has a 3 because the last number has a 2.)
