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: Understand division as an unknown-factor problem. For example, find 32 ÷ 8 by finding the number that makes 32 when multiplied by 8.

Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide. (Students need not use formal terms for these properties.) ^( )Examples: If 6 × 4 = 24 is known, then 4 × 6 = 24 is also known. (Commutative property of multiplication.) 3 × 5 × 2 can be found by 3 × 5 = 15, then 15 × 2 = 30, or by 5 × 2 = 10, then 3 × 10 = 30. (Associative property of multiplication.) Knowing that 8 × 5 = 40 and 8 × 2 = 16, one can find 8 × 7 as 8 × (5 + 2) = (8 × 5) + (8 × 2) = 40 + 16 = 56. (Distributive property.)
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to practice finding the value of division expressions using any strategy that makes sense to them. They may divide the dividend into equal groups or use the divisor to multiply up to the given dividend. They may choose to represent the division or multiplication with base-ten blocks or by drawing diagrams.
During the synthesis, highlight strategies that rely on place value, properties of operations, and the relationship between multiplication and division (MP7).
Representation: Develop Language and Symbols.
Synthesis: Make connections between representations visible. Elicit from students the connections between the different strategies and representations shared by students.

Activity
“Find the value of each quotient. You can use whatever strategy or representation you prefer.”
8–10 minutes: independent work time
Monitor for a variety of strategies and representations. Identify students to share in the synthesis.
“Share your favorite way to divide with your partner.”
2–3 minutes: partner discussion
Student Facing
Find the value of each quotient. Explain or show your reasoning. Organize it so it can be followed by others.
\(80 \div 5\)
\(68 \div 4\)
\(91 \div 7\)
If you have time: Eighty-four students on a field trip are put into groups. Each group has 14 students. How many groups are there?
