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
$$-\frac{1}{4}$$


Standard options: 
A. Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving the four operations with rational numbers. (Computations with rational numbers extend the rules for manipulating fractions to complex fractions.)
B. Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division and of fractions to multiply and divide rational numbers.
C. Apply and extend previous understandings of addition and subtraction to add and subtract rational numbers; represent addition and subtraction on a horizontal or vertical number line diagram.


Your response:
Thought: 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).
Answer: B

Now, assign the following problem or activity to one or more relevant standards it aligns with.

options: Use addition and subtraction within 100 to solve one- and two-step word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to create their own relevant mathematical questions and use their understanding of addition and subtraction to answer questions about their own and their peers' survey data.
Launch
Combine pairs into groups of 4
Activity
“Switch graphs. Use the sentence stems or create your own questions about the other group’s graphs.”
1
–
2 minutes: independent work time
4 minutes: partner work time.
“Take turns to ask each other the questions you came up with and use your own graph to answer.”
“When possible, write down an equation to show your reasoning.”
5 minutes: group discussion.
Monitor for students who write equations to show the categories they combine or compare when answering their peers' questions.
Student Facing
Trade graphs. Create questions about the other group’s graph.
Sentence stems:
How many students picked ___________ and __________ all together?
How many more students picked _______ than _______?
Take turns asking and answering questions.

Advancing Student Thinking
If students rely on counting to find solutions rather than adding or subtracting, consider asking "What equation could you write to represent the categories in the question?"
Activity Synthesis
Invite previously selected students to share.
“Where do we see the equations in their graph? What does the equation mean?”
“What’s the difference between answering the questions from a bar graph and answering them from a picture graph?”
