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

options: Prove and apply trigonometric identities.

Use functions to model relationships between quantities.

Define, evaluate, and compare functions.

Construct and compare linear and exponential models and solve problems.

Interpret expressions for functions in terms of the situation they model.

Understand the concept of a function and use function notation.

Interpret functions that arise in applications in terms of the context.

Analyze functions using different representations.

Model periodic phenomena with trigonometric functions.

Build a function that models a relationship between two quantities.

problem_activity: Warm-up
The purpose of this warm-up is to prepare students for “unwrapping” the unit circle in the next activity and seeing what the graphs of
\(y=\cos(x)\)
and
\(y=\sin(x)\)
look like for the first time in this unit. Part of thinking of cosine and sine as functions is understanding their input and output. The prompts in this activity ask students to informally describe the output of the two trigonometric functions by focusing on each coordinate of a point on the unit circle.
Launch
Display the image for all to see.
Student Facing
Suppose there is a point
\(P\)
on the unit circle at
\((1,0)\)
.
[IMG]
Describe how the
\(x\)
-coordinate of
\(P\)
changes as it rotates once counterclockwise around the circle.
Describe how the
\(y\)
-coordinate of
\(P\)
changes as it rotates once counterclockwise around the circle.
