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.


Standard options: 
A. Explain why a fraction a/b is equivalent to a fraction (n × a)/(n × b) by using visual fraction models, with attention to how the number and size of the parts differ even though the two fractions themselves are the same size. Use this principle to recognize and generate equivalent fractions.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 100.
B. Compare two fractions with different numerators and different denominators, e.g., by creating common denominators or numerators, or by comparing to a benchmark fraction such as 1/2. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two fractions refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual fraction model.

Your response:
Thought: This task asks students to compare two fractions that are equal. The two fractions have different numerators and denominators (e.g. 1/4 and 3/12). The students need to explain why the two fractions are equal by drawing a picture, which involves using visual fraction models.
Answer: A, B

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

4
options: Fluently multiply multi-digit whole numbers using the standard algorithm.

Add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals to hundredths, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method and explain the reasoning used.

Find whole-number quotients of whole numbers with up to four-digit dividends and two-digit divisors, using strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to facilitate the Estimation Exploration they created in the previous activity for another group in the class. Each group should be paired with another group and they will take turns facilitating their Estimation Exploration for the other group. If time allows, students could facilitate their Estimation Exploration with more than 1 group.
MLR8 Discussion Supports.
At the appropriate time, give students 2–3 minutes to make sure that everyone in their group can explain their Estimation Exploration activity. Invite groups to rehearse what they will say when they share with the whole class.
Advances: Speaking, Conversing, Representing
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Chart paper
Colored pencils, crayons, or markers
Launch
Groups of 3 or 4
Give each group a piece of chart paper and a marker to record responses.
“Pair up with another group in the class. Each group will present their Estimation Exploration.”
Activity
10–12 minutes: small-group work time
Remind students to switch roles halfway through the time allowed.
Student Facing
Display your image for your classmates.
Ask them, “What is an estimate that’s too high?” “Too low?” “About right?”
Give them a minute of quiet think time.
Give them a minute to discuss together.
Have them share estimates.
Record their ideas.

Activity Synthesis
“What did you learn as you presented your Estimation Exploration?” (I learned that ranges of estimates might be bigger than you expect. I learned that it’s important to understand the size of the items you are trying to estimate or be familiar with it, otherwise you cannot make good estimates.)
