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: Construct and interpret two-way frequency tables of data when two categories are associated with each object being classified. Use the two-way table as a sample space to decide if events are independent and to approximate conditional probabilities. For example, collect data from a random sample of students in your school on their favorite subject among math, science, and English. Estimate the probability that a randomly selected student from your school will favor science given that the student is in tenth grade. Do the same for other subjects and compare the results.
problem_activity: Task
The goal of this task is to explain why the area enclosed by a circle $C$ of radius $r$ is
$\pi r^2$.  Recall that $\pi$ is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter and that this ratio is independent of the size of the circle.
Draw a picture of a regular octagon $O$ inscribed in $C$.  Find  a formula for the area of the octagon in terms of its perimeter.
Reasoning as in part (a), find a formula for the area of a regular $n$ sided polygon, for $n \geq 3$, inscribed in $C$: the formula should give the area of the polygon  in terms of  its perimeter.
Using your formula from part (b), explain why the area of $C$ is $\pi r^2$.
