Example:
Concept/skill: 
Compare two decimals to hundredths by reasoning about their size. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two decimals refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with the symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual model.
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: 
No. This task does not involve comparing decimals to hundredths. Instead, it involves fraction comparisons.

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

standard_description: Represent three-dimensional figures using nets made up of rectangles and triangles, and use the nets to find the surface area of these figures. Apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.
problem_activity: Problem 1
A new park is being built in the city. In the park, there will be a cemented walkway that will wind through the park. The walkway will be completely enclosed by a short, gated fence that will line the path on all sides of the path. The blueprint for the pathway is shown in the coordinate plane below. Each square unit in the coordinate grid represents 1 square yard.

a.   The city budget includes enough funds to include 50 square yards of cement and 60 yards of fencing. Will the budget cover the necessary expenses for cement and fencing? Defend your answer.
b.   Two statues will be placed at points
$${(-1, 2)}$$
and
$${(-1, -4).}$$
How far apart, in yards, are the two statues?
Problem 2
You are responsible for a small plot of land in the community garden that measures
$$9$$
ft.
$$\times $$
$$9$$
ft. You want to include
$${48}$$
square feet of gardening space, and you want your garden to have at least one rectangle shape and at least one triangle shape.
Draw a possible plan for your garden on the grid below. Make sure you do not go outside of the
$$9$$
ft.
$$\times $$
$$9$$
ft. space.
