Concept/skill: 
Understand a fraction as a number on the number line; represent fractions on a number line diagram.
 Grade 3 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8.

Problem/activity:
Task
 Arrange the fractions in order from least to greatest. Explain your answer with a picture.
 $\frac{1}{5}, \frac{1}{7}, \frac{1}{3} $
 $\frac{2}{5}, \frac{2}{7}, \frac{2}{3} $
 $\frac{5}{6}, \frac{3}{6}, \frac{1}{6} $
 $\frac{5}{12}, \frac{8}{12}, \frac{4}{12} $

Answer: 
No. Completing this task does not involve representing fractions on a number line diagram.

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

standard_description: Interpret a multiplication equation as a comparison, e.g., interpret 35 = 5 × 7 as a statement that 35 is 5 times as many as 7 and 7 times as many as 5. Represent verbal statements of multiplicative comparisons as multiplication equations.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this warm-up is to elicit observations and questions about some animals and their associated measurements, which will be useful when students create comparison statements in a later activity.

Activity Synthesis
“The numbers tell us how high each of these animals can jump.”
Ask students to decide if each of the following statements is true or false and share their responses and reasoning:
“A rabbit can jump 10 times as high as a dolphin.”
“A dolphin can jump as high as a frog.”
“What other comparison statements can you make about how high these animals can jump?”
30 seconds: think time
1 minute: partner discussion
Share responses.
“We are going to keep thinking about making comparisons in our first activity today.”
