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: Compose simple shapes to form larger shapes. For example, “Can you join these two triangles with full sides touching to make a rectangle?”

Model shapes in the world by building shapes from components (e.g., sticks and clay balls) and drawing shapes.

Analyze and compare two- and three-dimensional shapes, in different sizes and orientations, using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, parts (e.g., number of sides and vertices/“corners”) and other attributes (e.g., having sides of equal length).
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is to introduce stage 2 of the Connecting Cubes center. Students use connecting cubes to make objects pictured on cards. As they work, observe whether students match the connecting cubes to the image or count the number of connecting cubes in the image to create their own object (MP6).
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Connecting cubes
Materials to Copy
Connecting Cubes Stage 2 Cards
Required Preparation
Create a set of cards from the blackline master for each group of 2.
Launch
Groups of 2
“We are going to look at a new center that you can choose during center choice time.”
Display the student book.
“How could you use connecting cubes with this picture?” (We can make things with our connecting cubes that look like the picture in the book.)
30 seconds: quiet think time
1 minute: partner discussion
Share responses.
Activity
Give each group of students connecting cubes and a set of cards.
Display the student page.
“Use your connecting cubes to build this object.”
3 minutes: independent work time
