Problem/activity:
For each pair of numbers, determine if the values are equivalent. Explain your reasoning for each one.
a.
$$-0.25$$
and
$$\frac{1}{-4}$$
b.
$$-\left ( \frac{1}{4} \right )$$
and
$$\frac{-1}{-4}$$
c.
$$\frac{-1}{4}$$
and
$$-\frac{1}{4}$$


Standard options: 
A. Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving the four operations with rational numbers. (Computations with rational numbers extend the rules for manipulating fractions to complex fractions.)
B. Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division and of fractions to multiply and divide rational numbers.
C. Apply and extend previous understandings of addition and subtraction to add and subtract rational numbers; represent addition and subtraction on a horizontal or vertical number line diagram.


Your response:
B

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

options: Express the length of an object as a whole number of length units, by laying multiple copies of a shorter object (the length unit) end to end; understand that the length measurement of an object is the number of same-size length units that span it with no gaps or overlaps. Limit to contexts where the object being measured is spanned by a whole number of length units with no gaps or overlaps.

Order three objects by length; compare the lengths of two objects indirectly by using a third object.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to order three objects by length. Students line up objects from shortest to longest and longest to shortest. Students need to attend to the language in the question to know which way to order the objects. The language and reasoning students use in this activity helps prepare them to compare the length of objects indirectly in future lessons.
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Materials from a previous activity
Required Preparation
Each group of 4 needs the collection of objects from the previous activity.
Launch
Groups of 4
Give each group 10–12 objects.
Activity
Read the task statement.
5 minutes: small-group work
Monitor for students who line up the endpoints of the objects.
Student Facing
Pick 3 objects.
With your partner, put the objects in order from
shortest
to longest.
Trace or draw your objects.
Pick 3 new objects.
With your partner, put them in order from
longest to shortest
.
Write the names of the objects in order from longest to shortest.

Advancing Student Thinking
If students appear to order their objects correctly without lining them up, consider asking:
“How did you order your objects from ___ (shortest to longest or longest to shortest)?”
“How could you prove to someone that your objects are ordered correctly?”
Activity Synthesis
Invite previously identified students to demonstrate how they ordered three objects from shortest to longest.
Display the three objects with the endpoints lined up so all students can see.
“What statements can you make to compare the length of their objects?” (The ___ is longer than the ___ and ___.)
As time permits, repeat by inviting a previously identified students to demonstrate how they ordered three objects from longest to shortest.
