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.


Your response:
B

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

options: Identify when two expressions are equivalent (i.e., when the two expressions name the same number regardless of which value is substituted into them). For example, the expressions y + y + y and 3y are equivalent because they name the same number regardless of which number y stands for.

Apply the properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions. For example, apply the distributive property to the expression 3 (2 + x) to produce the equivalent expression 6 + 3x; apply the distributive property to the expression 24x + 18y to produce the equivalent expression 6 (4x + 3y); apply properties of operations to y + y + y to produce the equivalent expression 3y.

Write and evaluate numerical expressions involving whole-number exponents.

Write, read, and evaluate expressions in which letters stand for numbers.
problem_activity: Activity
The activity is an opportunity to practice evaluating quadratic expressions for a negative value of the variable, and choosing parameters of an equation that will result in its graph looking a certain way.
Launch
Arrange students in groups of 2. Give students two minutes of quiet work time on the first question, and ask them to check their answers with their partner before starting the second question. Call attention to the scale on the axes. Identify students who use the scale to select the parameters for their linear equation.
Student Facing
Evaluate each expression when
\(x\)
is -3.
\(x^2\)
\(\text-x^2\)
\(x^2+20\)
\(\text-x^2+20\)
For each graph, come up with an equation that the graph could represent. Verify your equation using graphing technology.

Activity Synthesis
Invite students to share various equations that each graph could represent. Use different but equally correct equations to help students generalize. For example, either
\(y=x+15\)
or
\(y=x+12\)
makes sense for graph C, because it looks like
\(y=x\)
, and is shifted up by some number between 10 and 20. So we know that the equation this graph represents is in the form
\(y=x+b\)
, where
\(b\)
is positive, even though we can’t tell its exact value from the given information.
