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.


Mathematical concept/skill options: 
A. Build fractions from unit fractions by applying and extending previous understandings of operations on whole numbers.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 100.
B. Extend understanding of fraction equivalence and ordering.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 100.
C. Use equivalent fractions as a strategy to add and subtract fractions.
D. Develop Understanding of fractions as numbers.
Grade 3 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8.
E. Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division to multiply and divide fractions.
F. Understand decimal notation for fractions, and compare decimal fractions.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 100.


Your response:
Thought: In this problem, students learn to recognize equivalent fractions. That is, three laps around the playground is 3/12 mile, which is equivalent to 1/4, which is one lap around the school.
Answer: B

problem_activity: Activity
In this activity, students extend their thinking about distribution shapes to using the shape to justify making a decison from a set of repesentations. In previous lessons, students matched distribution shapes to situations. Students practice applying the situations when they choose a representation and are able to eliminate the others. This activity prepares students to compare specific measures of several distribution shapes in a later lesson.

Each histogram represents the number of star ratings for a different restaurant. The ratings range from 0–4, with 0 representing a very poor experience and 4 representing an excellent experience. For each question, explain your reasoning.
Which restaurant do reviewers like the most?
Which restaurant do reviewers like the least?
Which restaurant received mostly mixed reviews?
Which restaurant would you choose to try?

Activity Synthesis
Discuss how students use the data distribution shapes to choose their answers. Here are sample questions to promote class discussion:
“How did you determine at which restaurant you would eat?” (I thought the restaurant with the highest ratings is the one at which I would want to eat.)
“How can you tell which restaurant has the best ratings?” (I can tell which one has the best ratings by looking for the histogram with the greatest frequency of 4 or 4-star ratings indicated by tall bars on the right side of the histogram.)
“How does shape influence your decisions?” (Shape influences my decisions because as I am looking for the amount of ratings, I am looking at how tall the bars are on each histogram. The skewed histograms show me that reviewers tend to agree that the restaurant is either very good or very bad. The uniform shape shows me that the restaurant has an equal amount of each rating, which might mean the experience is somewhat random. The bimodal shape shows me that reviewers are split on the restaurant, with some rating the quality very good while others are rating it as very poor.)
