Example:
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: Directly compare two objects with a measurable attribute in common, to see which object has “more of”/“less of” the attribute, and describe the difference. For example, directly compare the heights of two children and describe one child as taller/shorter.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is to notice the pattern that when 0 is added to a number, the number stays the same and the pattern that when 1 is added to a number, the total is the next number in the count sequence, or 1 more (MP7).
MLR2 Collect and Display.
Collect the language students use to describe what they notice about the value of the expressions when 0 and 1 are added. Display phrases such as: “When we add 0, the total is the same number that we started with, because nothing was added.” During the synthesis, invite students to borrow language from the display as needed.
Advances: Conversing, Reading
Representation: Internalize Comprehension.
Synthesis: Some students may benefit from reiterating the patterns of adding zero and adding one. Make a connection between the two patterns students should notice. For example, “When you add zero to any number you get the same number because adding zero is adding nothing”, “When you add one to any number the total is the next number in the count sequence, or one more.”

“Diego and Mai recorded their addition expressions and their values on this page. What do you notice? What do you wonder?” (They always added 1 or 0. Sometimes the first and last number are the same.)

“Which expressions show that 0 were added?” (
\(4 + 0\)
,
\(2 + 0\)
, and
\(8 + 0\)
)

“When you played the game, what did you do when you had to add 0?” (Nothing. Zero means none so none were added.)

“
\(3 + 0\)
is how many?” (
\(3 + 0\)
is 3.)
“
\(2 + 0\)
is how many?” (
\(2 + 0\)
is 2.)
“How do you know that
\(2 + 0\)
is 2?” (Because we didn’t add any more, so the 2 stayed the same.)
Repeat with
\(2 + 1\)
