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} $

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.

standard_description: Recognize a line of symmetry for a two-dimensional figure as a line across the figure such that the figure can be folded along the line into matching parts. Identify line-symmetric figures and draw lines of symmetry.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to represent a number from 1–10 in different ways. Students write the number, use objects to create groups, and draw groups of images. Students use these representations while they take a gallery walk in the next activity. Students use appropriate tools strategically as they choose which objects to use and how to organize them to represent their number (MP5).
Representation: Internalize Comprehension.
Students would benefit from recalling the previous activity where they created a poster. Begin by asking, “Does anyone remember doing a previous activity where you had to create a poster?” Invite students to share what expectations and strategies they used in the prior activity and determine if any of those are applicable in this activity.

Activity Synthesis
“What are some different ways you and your partner showed your number?” (We counted out 5 cubes. We wrote the number 5. We drew groups of 5 images. We showed that it is 1 more than 4 and 1 less than 6.)
