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: Generate measurement data by measuring lengths using rulers marked with halves and fourths of an inch. Show the data by making a line plot, where the horizontal scale is marked off in appropriate units— whole numbers, halves, or quarters.
problem_activity: Narrative
In this activity, students create a line plot using the measurement data that they generated earlier and display their group’s line plot for all to see.
Encourage students to plan their line plot using the blank line in the activity statement before creating a poster version for display in a gallery walk. A template for a larger line plot is provided in the blackline master. Students can join the number lines on two copies of the blackline master to create a longer number line.
[IMG]
As students visit others’ data displays, they consider how the line plots are alike and how they are different, as well as why different scales might have been chosen for different objects measured.
Representation: Access for Perception.
Synthesis: Use gestures during the explanation of the line plot to emphasize important aspects of the line plot.

Let's Make a Line Plot
Launch
Groups of 4
“Look at the data your group collected. What do you need to know to make a line plot that represents the data?” (The longest and shortest measurements. Whether the lengths are whole numbers or include halves and fourths of an inch.)
1 minute: group discussion
Share responses.
Give each group 2 copies of the blackline master, scissors, glue or tape, and tools for creating a visual display.
Activity
“Work with your group to create a line plot that represents your data. You will share your line plot with the class later.”
“You can use the blank number line on your page to plan your line plot before creating a final one to display.”
Consider asking:
“How do you plan to make the scale for the line plot so that it can show all your measurements?”
“What information or labels could be included to help others understand your line plot?”
Demonstrate how to join and tape (or glue) the 2 copies of the blackline master to make a large line plot.
“After you complete your final line plot, tape (or glue) your line plot on a poster.”
12–15 minutes: group work time
Student Facing
Create a line plot to represent the measurement data you collected. You will display and share your line plot with your class later.
You can use the blank number line here for your draft. Think about:
how to label the tick marks so that all the measurements are included
details to help others understand the data you collected
