Problem/activity:
For each pair of numbers, determine if the values are equivalent. Explain your reasoning for each one.
a.
$$-0.25$$
and
$$\frac{1}{-4}$$
b.
$$-\left ( \frac{1}{4} \right )$$
and
$$\frac{-1}{-4}$$
c.
$$\frac{-1}{4}$$
and
$$-\frac{1}{4}$$


Concept/skill: 
Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a fraction or whole number by a fraction.

Answer: 
No. The expressions shown in this problem do not involve multiplying fractions with other fractions, nor whole numbers with fractions.

Now, assess whether the following problem or activity is 'aligned' with the given Common Core standard in Mathematics.

Below are pictures of an equilateral triangle, a square, a regular hexagon, and a circle each having
the same perimeter:
[IMG]
Find the area of the equilateral triangle whose perimeter is $1$ unit.
Find the area of the square whose perimeter is $1$ unit.
Find the area of the regular hexagon whose perimeter is one unit.
Find the area of the circle whose perimeter is $1$ unit.
List the answers to (a), (b), (c) and (d) in increasing size.  How do you think the area of a regular octagon with perimeter $1$ unit would compare to the
triangle, square, hexagon, and circle?
