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: Use geometric descriptions of rigid motions to transform figures and to predict the effect of a given rigid motion on a given figure; given two figures, use the definition of congruence in terms of rigid motions to decide if they are congruent.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this Number Talk is to elicit strategies and understandings students have for dividing within 100 and to help students develop fluency.
When students use known multiplication and division facts to divide larger numbers, they look for and make use of structure (MP7).
Launch

Activity Synthesis
“How did you use division facts that you already know to find some of the other quotients?” (I knew that
\(60\div3\)
would be double the answer of
\(30\div3\)
. Once I knew
\(60\div3\)
, I was able to find
\(63\div3\)
by adding another group of 3 and
\(54\div3\)
by taking groups of 3 away.)
