Concept/skill: 
Explain equivalence of fractions in special cases, and compare fractions by reasoning about their size.
 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: 
Yes. By arranging the fractions in this problem, students learn to compare fractions by reasoning about their size.

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

standard_description: Fluently add and subtract within 100 using strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction.
problem_activity: Task
Below is a picture of the functions $f(x) = \log_b{x}$ and $g(x) = b^x$. In the application below, the base b varies between 1 and 2 (by hundredths) and pressing the "play" button will run through all possible values of b.
For which values of $b$ do the two graphs appear not to meet?
For which values of $b$ do the two graphs appear to meet in two points?
Check by evaluating the functions $f$ and $g$ that the two graphs meet at $x=e$ when $b = e^{\frac{1}{e}}$.
