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} $

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.

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.

3
standard_description: Fluently multiply and divide within 100, using strategies such as the relationship between multiplication and division (e.g., knowing that 8 × 5 = 40, one knows 40 ÷ 5 = 8) or properties of operations. By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers.
problem_activity: Narrative
This warm-up prompts students to compare four representations. The reasoning here prepares students to connect the previous multiplication work to the division work of this lesson. It gives students an opportunity to use precise terms such as “factors,” “product,” and “quotient” in making comparisons (MP6). During the synthesis, ask students to explain the meaning of any terminology they use.

Activity Synthesis
“What equation can each diagram represent?” (The array represents
\(4\times6=24\)
because there are 4 rows of 6 dots, and there are 24 dots in the array. The area diagram could represent
\(4\times7=28\)
or
\(28\div4=7\)
since the sides are 4 and 7, and the area is 28. The tape diagram could represent
\(24\div3={?}\)
or
\(3\times{?}=24\)
because we know the total is 24 and there are 3 groups, but we don’t know how many are in each group.)
