Task
 Arrange the fractions in order from least to greatest. Explain your answer with a picture.
 $\frac{1}{5}, \frac{1}{7}, \frac{1}{3} $
 $\frac{2}{5}, \frac{2}{7}, \frac{2}{3} $
 $\frac{5}{6}, \frac{3}{6}, \frac{1}{6} $
 $\frac{5}{12}, \frac{8}{12}, \frac{4}{12} $

Standard options: 
A. Understand a fraction as a number on the number line; represent fractions on a number line diagram.
Grade 3 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8.
B. Explain equivalence of fractions in special cases, and compare fractions by reasoning about their size.
Grade 3 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8.
C. Understand a fraction 1/b as the quantity formed by 1 part when a whole is partitioned into b equal parts; understand a fraction a/b as the quantity formed by a parts of size 1/b.
Grade 3 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8.

options: 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.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 100.

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.
problem_activity: Problem 1
Look at the title and image of the Newsweek article,
More Than Half of Medical Advice on 'Dr. Oz' Lacks Proof or Contradicts Best Available Science: Study
.
According to this article, a research team looked at 80 pieces of medical advice from
The Dr. Oz Show
and found no evidence to support 43 of these recommendations.
a.   Do you agree or disagree with the claim in the headline based on this information? Why or why not?
b.   Determine whether the following fractions are greater or less than
$$\frac12$$
.
$$\frac{5}{12}$$
$$\frac35$$
Problem 2
a.   Ishmael says that he knows
$$\frac{5}{12}$$
is less than
$$\frac35$$
because
$$\frac{5}{12}$$
is less than
$$\frac12 $$
and
$$\frac35$$
is more than
$$\frac12$$
, so
$$\frac{5}{12}$$
must be less than
$$\frac35$$
. Explain why Ishmael’s reasoning is correct using words or pictures.
b.   Use Ishmael’s strategy to compare the following pairs of fractions. Record your answer with
$$\lt$$
,
$$\gt$$
, or
$$=$$
.
$${{4\over10}}$$
and
$${{5\over8}}$$
$${{7\over12}}$$
and
$${{4\over9}}$$
$${{1\over3}}$$
and
$${{4\over7}}$$
Problem 3
a.   Now Joslyn is comparing
$$\frac46$$
and
$$\frac58$$
. She says that she knows
$$\frac46$$
is more than
$$\frac58$$
because
$$\frac46$$
is
$$\frac16$$
more than
$$\frac12$$
and
$$\frac58$$
is
$$\frac18$$
more than
$$\frac12$$
and
$$\frac16$$
is more than
$$\frac18$$
. Explain why Jocelyn’s reasoning is correct using words or pictures.
b.   Use any strategy to compare the following pairs of fractions. Record your answer with
$$\lt$$
,
$$\gt$$
, or
$$=$$
.
$$\frac{5}{12}$$
and
$${{4\over10}}$$
$${{3\over5}}$$
and
$${{5\over9}}$$
$${{1\over3}}$$
and
$${{3\over7}}$$
