Task
Cruz and Erica were both getting ready for soccer.
Cruz ran 1 lap around the school.
Erica ran 3 laps around the playground.
Erica said,
I ran more laps, so I ran farther.
Cruz said,
4 laps around the school is 1 mile, but it takes 12 laps around the playground to go 1 mile. My laps are much longer, so I ran farther.

Concept/skill: 
Compare two decimals to hundredths by reasoning about their size. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two decimals refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with the symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual model.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 100.

Answer: 
No. This task does not involve comparing decimals to hundredths. Instead, it involves fraction comparisons.

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

standard_description: Generate measurement data by measuring lengths using rulers marked with halves and fourths of an inch. Show the data by making a line plot, where the horizontal scale is marked off in appropriate units— whole numbers, halves, or quarters.
problem_activity: Problem 1
Mr. Schaut measured the height of all of the sunflower plants in his garden. The data are shown in the table below.
| **           Heights of Sunflower Plants (in inches)          ** |                   |                   |                   |                   |

a.   Make a dot plot of Mr. Schaut’s data. Remember to label all parts of your dot plot.
b.   Answer the following questions based on the data.
How many plants were measured in all?
What are the three most frequent measurements in order from shortest to tallest? How many plants were one of those three heights?
What is the typical height of a sunflower in Mr. Schaut’s garden? Justify your reasoning.
Problem 2
a.   Create a dot plot using just the first three rows of data from Anchor Task #1, copied below. Remember to label all parts of your dot plot.
| **                Heights of Sunflower Plants (in inches)               ** |                   |                   |                   |                   |
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------|-------------------|-------------------|-------------------|
|                             $$60\frac{1}{2}$$                              | $$61\frac{1}{2}$$ |      $$61$$       | $$60\frac{1}{2}$$ | $$61\frac{1}{4}$$ |
|                             $$60\frac{3}{4}$$                              | $$60\frac{3}{4}$$ | $$60\frac{3}{4}$$ |      $$61$$       |      $$60$$       |
|                                   $$62$$                                   |      $$61$$       | $$60\frac{1}{4}$$ |      $$61$$       | $$60\frac{1}{2}$$ |
b.   In what ways does this subset of data change the answers to the following questions:
How many plants were measured in all?
What are the three most frequent measurements in order from shortest to tallest? How many plants were one of those three heights?
What is the most typical height of a sunflower?
