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.

Your response, in json format:
{
  "explanation": "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"
}

Now, assign the following problem or activity to one or more relevant mathematical concepts/skills it teaches.

problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this Number Talk is to elicit strategies and understandings students have for adding within 100. These understandings help students develop fluency and will be helpful later in this lesson when students add 2 two-digit numbers, with composing a ten, using methods based on place value and the properties of operations.
In this activity, students have an opportunity to look for and make use of structure (MP7) because they decompose addends to make a new ten.
Launch

Activity Synthesis
“How could
\(7 + 3\)
help you solve
\(37 + 3\)
?” (I know 37 is 3 more tens than 7. Since I know
\(3 + 7\)
is 10, I need to add
\(30 +10\)
.)
“How could
\(7 + 3\)
help you solve
\(7 + 8\)
?” (
\(7 + 3 = 10\)
. So far I have added 3 of the 8 and have 5 left.
\(10 + 5 = 15\)
.)
“How could
\(7 + 8\)
help you solve
\(57 + 8\)
?” (Since I know
\(7 + 8 = 15\)
, I can add
\(50 + 15 = 65\)
)
