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: Use geometric shapes, their measures, and their properties to describe objects (e.g., modeling a tree trunk or a human torso as a cylinder).
problem_activity: A family has a house on a plot of land and would like to build an addition. The map below shows the “footprint” of the original house, the proposed addition, and the family’s plot of land. Each grid line represents 10 linear feet.
[IMG]
The family’s plot of land is rectangular. What are the values of the missing coordinates,
$$x$$
and
$$y$$
?
What is the ratio of the proposed addition “footprint” area to the original house “footprint” area?
What is the area of land that will not have a building on it if the proposed addition is approved and built?
Prove that the proposed addition “footprint” is a right triangle.
