Example:
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 to multiply a fraction or whole number by a fraction.

Answer: 
No. The expressions shown in this problem do not involve multiplying fractions with other fractions, nor whole numbers with fractions.

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

standard_description: Informally assess the degree of visual overlap of two numerical data distributions with similar variabilities, measuring the difference between the centers by expressing it as a multiple of a measure of variability. For example, the mean height of players on the basketball team is 10 cm greater than the mean height of players on the soccer team, about twice the variability (mean absolute deviation) on either team; on a dot plot, the separation between the two distributions of heights is noticeable.
problem_activity: Problem 1
The functions below are parent functions. Graph each one. Use either technology or a table of values where needed.
$${y=x}$$
$${y=x}^2$$
$${y=x}^3$$
$${y=|x|}$$
$${y=\sqrt{x}}$$
$${y=\sqrt[3]{x}}$$
Problem 2
Consider the two functions below.
$${{f(x)}=|x|}$$
$${{g(x)}=|x|+2}$$
Create a table of values for each function and use it to graph each function in the coordinate plane.
Looking at the tables and the graphs, what changed from the parent function,
$${f(x)}$$
, to the new function,
$${g(x)}$$
? What is the same?
Look at the corresponding work in the Desmos activity,
Introduction to Transformations of Functions
, slides 3–6.
Problem 3
Predict what the tables and graph would look like for each function below. Then refer to slide 7 in the Desmos activity,
Introduction to Transformations of Functions
, to try out other values for
$$k$$
.
$${y=|x|+5}$$
$${y=|x|-1}$$
$$y=|x|+k$$
A different parent function and transformations are shown below. Predict what each graph would look like. Then refer to slides 8–14 in the Desmos activity.
$${y=x^2}$$
$${y=x^2}+5$$
$${y=x^2}-1$$
$${y=x^2}+k$$
