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 20 using mental strategies. (See standard 1.OA.6 for a list of mental strategies.) By end of Grade 2, know from memory all sums of two one-digit numbers.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to analyze what they have learned from the data and representations in the previous activities and to share their findings. In this activity, students select two things they learned and illustrate them using a tape diagram.
Monitor for tape diagrams that can be displayed during the lesson synthesis and compared to the bar graph selected in a previous activity. While the graph and diagram do not have to be from the same pair, it would be helpful for students to see data from the same survey displayed with different representations.
To add movement to this activity, consider a gallery walk. Students can make their diagrams on poster paper. As students walk around the room, they select a few diagrams and determine what information they learn about their class based on the diagram and equation.
Launch
Groups of 2
“You and your partner are going to draw a diagram. Your diagram should compare two facts you learned from your survey.”
“Decide with your partner which 2 facts you want to share with the class and how you will compare the two facts.”
1 minute: partner discussion.
Activity
5 minutes: independent work time
Students check in with their partners to be sure their representations make sense and are accurate.
3 minutes: partner discussion
Monitor for a few examples of accurate tape diagrams and equations.
Student Facing
Draw a diagram. Your diagram should compare two facts you learned from your survey.
Write an equation that represents the comparison.
