Problem/activity:
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.
Who is right? Draw a picture to help you explain your answer.


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.

4
standard_description: Find whole-number quotients and remainders with up to four-digit dividends and one-digit divisors, using strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to whole numbers less than or equal to 1,000,000.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this True or False is to elicit the strategies and understandings students have for explaining why an equation is true based on place value. These understandings will be helpful later when students need to find ways to make equations true by attending to place value.
Launch
Display one statement.
“Give me a signal when you know whether the statement is true and can explain how you know.”
1 minute: quiet think time
Activity
Share and record answers and strategies.
Repeat with each statement.
Student Facing
Decide if each statement true or false. Be prepared to explain your reasoning.
5 hundreds + 2 tens + 7 ones = 527
4 hundreds + 12 tens + 7 ones = 527
5 hundreds + 7 ones + 2 tens = 527
