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.

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.

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: Compare two two-digit numbers based on meanings of the tens and ones digits, recording the results of comparisons with the symbols >, =, and <.
problem_activity: Activity
The purpose of this activity is for students to match relationships between angles in a figure with equations that can represent those relationships. This prepares students for writing and solving equations that represent relationships between angles in the next lesson. As students explain their reasoning, monitor for students who use the appropriate vocabulary and language (i.e. vertical angles have equal measures, supplementary angles sum to 180 degrees, etc.).
Launch
Keep students in same groups. Give students 2–3 minutes of quiet work time followed by partner and whole-class discussions.
Student Facing
Match each figure to an equation that represents what is seen in the figure. For each match, explain how you know they are a match.

What is the angle between the hour and minute hands of a clock at 3:00?
You might think that the angle between the hour and minute hands at 2:20 is 60 degrees, but it is not! The hour hand has moved beyond the 2. Calculate the angle between the clock hands at 2:20.
Find a time where the hour and minute hand are 40 degrees apart. (Assume that the time has a whole number of minutes.) Is there just one answer?

Activity Synthesis
The goal of this discussion is for students to articulate the angle relationships they noticed in each figure and equation. Display the figures for all to see. Select previously identified students to share their explanations for each figure. If not mentioned in students’ explanations be sure that students see the vertical, supplementary, straight, and right angle relationships in the figures.
