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 and division and of fractions to multiply and divide rational numbers.

Answer: 
Yes. This problem involves understanding fractions and division to divide rational numbers, such as 1, -4, 4, and -1. This problem also involves an understanding of multiplication: if p and q are integers, then -(p/q) = (-p)/q = p/(-q).

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

standard_description: Write a function that describes a relationship between two quantities.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this Number Talk is to elicit strategies and understandings students have for making a ten when adding within 20. The numbers chosen lend themselves to making a ten to find the value of the sum. These understandings help students develop fluency and will be helpful later in this lesson when students make a ten when adding one-digit numbers and two-digit numbers.

Activity Synthesis
“How could
\(8 + 2\)
help you to find the value of
\(8 + 5\)
?” (I can add 2 to 8 to get to 10, and then I have 3 more to add.
\(10 + 3\)
is 13.)
