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: Understand that the two digits of a two-digit number represent amounts of tens and ones. Understand the following as special cases:
- The numbers from 11 to 19 are composed of a ten and one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine ones.
- The numbers 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 refer to one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine tens (and 0 ones).
- 10 can be thought of as a bundle of ten ones — called a “ten.”
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this lesson is for students to learn stage 1 of the center, How Close? Students pick a given number of digit cards and then choose a subset of those to make an expression that yields a number as close as possible to 20.
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Connecting cubes or two-color counters
Double 10-frames
Number cards 0–10
Materials to Copy
How Close? Stage 1 Recording Sheet
Launch
Groups of 2
Give each group a set of number cards, two recording sheets, and access to double 10-frames and connecting cubes or two-color counters.
“We are going to learn a game called How Close? Add to 20. Let's play the first round together.”
“First we take out any card that has the number 10. We will not use those cards for the game.”
Display 5 cards.
“I can choose two or three of these cards to add to get as close to 20 as I can. What cards should I choose?”
1 minute: quiet think time
2 minutes: partner discussion
Share responses.
“I write an equation with the numbers I chose and the sum of the numbers.”
Demonstrate writing the equation on the recording sheet.
“The person who gets a sum closer to 20 gets a point for the round. Then you each get more cards so you always have five cards to choose from. Play again. The person who gets more points wins.”
Activity
10 minutes: partner work time
Activity Synthesis
Invite students to share their methods for making a sum close to 20.
