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.

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 activity is for students to compare a Put Together, Total Unknown story problem and a Put Together/Take Apart, Both Addends Unknown story problem with a similar context. This is the first time that students have worked with a Put Together/Take Apart, Both Addends Unknown story problem.
Representation: Access for Perception.
Synthesis: Create a visual display to represent each story. For Mai, draw 7 circles and ask, “how many should I color in yellow?” and “how many should I color in red?” (5 yellow and 2 red). For Lin, draw 8 unshaded circles, and ask, “do we know which colors to use for Lin’s apples?” (no, we do not know how many of each color she picked).
Supports accessibility for: Visual-Spatial Processing, Organization
Launch
Groups of 2
Read both stories.
“What do you notice? What do you wonder?” (There are 2 stories. They are both about picking apples. There are red apples and yellow apples in both. I wonder how many red apples Lin picked.)
Activity
Read the first story problem.
“What do you know about Mai’s apples in this story? What do you not know?” (We know that she picked red and yellow apples. We know that she picked 5 yellow apples and 2 red apples. We do not know how many apples she picked altogether.)
30 seconds: quiet think time

Read the second story problem.
“What do you know about Lin’s apples in this story? What do you not know?” (We know that she picked 8 apples. We know that some of them were red and some of them were yellow. We don’t know how many red ones or how many yellow ones she picked.)

Student Facing
Mai was picking apples at the orchard.
Mai picked 5 yellow apples and 2 red apples.
Lin picked 8 apples at the orchard.
Some of the apples were yellow.
The rest of the apples were red.

Activity Synthesis
“What is the same about these stories?” (They are both about picking apples. They both have red and yellow apples.)
“What is different about the stories?” (The first story is about Mai and the next story is about Lin. In the first story we knew how many yellow apples and how many red apples. In the second story we know that there are 8 apples altogether.)
“In the next activity, we will work on showing what happened in the second story.”
