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.

Topic options: 
A. Modeling: students learn to choose and use appropriate mathematics and statistics to analyze real-world empirical situations, improve decisions, and report on their conclusions and the reasoning behind them.
B. Measurement & Data: students learn to work with data and measure attributes such as time, money, length, area, and volume. They may learn to compare measurements to operations and convert between different units of measure.
C. Number Systems and Quantity: students learn to understand the complex number system and reason quantitatively.
D. Number & Operations - Fractions: students learn to understand fractions as numbers and may work with them using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
E. Geometry: students learn to classify geometric figures by their properties, and understand and compare the relationships between them. Students develop and use formulas to compute lengths, areas, and volumes, and they use transformations to generate new shapes and compare existing ones. Geometry can be studied with and without coordinates.
F. Number & Operations in Base Ten: students learn to work with the base-ten system and build place value understanding.
G. Statistics & Probability: students learn to analyze and produce data distributions, and build understanding of univariate and bivariate data. They learn to interpret data, make statistical inferences, justify conclusions, understand rules of probability, and use probability to make decisions.
H. Ratios & Proportional Relationships: students learn to recognize, describe, represent, and reason with ratios, rates, proportional relationships, and percent.
I. Counting & Cardinality: students learn to know number names and the count sequence, count to tell the number of objects, and compare numbers.
J. Functions: students learn to define, use, and evaluate functions to model relationships between quantities.
K. Operations & Algebra: students learn to solve problems using algebraic thinking and operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. They may learn to identify and explain arithmetic patterns, evaluate or manipulate numerical expressions, and reason with equations and inequalities.

problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to relate drawings of equal groups to arrays. Specifically, students look for arrays that have the same number of objects in each row or column as each drawing has in each group. In some arrays, the equal groups in the drawing are represented as rows, and in some, they are represented in columns. Students have the opportunity to explain the connections they see between the drawings and arrays, receive feedback from their peers, and revise their explanation for precision and clarity (MP3, MP6). This will be useful in future lessons when students record multiplication expressions and equations to represent arrays.
This activity uses
MLR1 Stronger and Clearer Each Time
. Advances: reading, writing.
Engagement: Develop Effort and Persistence.
Chunk this task into more manageable parts. Give students a subset of the cards to start with and introduce the remaining cards once students have completed their initial set of matches.
Supports accessibility for: Attention, Organization
Required Materials
Materials to Copy
Card Sort Arrays
Required Preparation
Create a set of cards from the blackline master for each group of 2 or 4 students.
Launch
Groups of 2 or 4
Distribute one set of pre-cut cards to each group of students.
Activity
“This set of cards includes drawings of equal groups and arrays. Match each drawing to an array. Work with your partner to justify your choices.”
8 minutes: partner work time
“Independently choose a match you and your partner made. Write down how you know that the drawing matches the array.”
2 minutes: independent work time
MLR1 Stronger and Clearer Each Time
“Share your response to why your cards match with your partner. Take turns being the speaker and the listener. If you are the speaker, share your ideas and writing so far. If you are the listener, ask questions and give feedback to help your partner improve their work.”
3–5 minutes: structured partner discussion
Repeat with 2–3 different partners.
“Revise your initial draft based on the feedback you got from your partners.”
2–3 minutes: independent work time
Student Facing
Match the drawings of equal groups and arrays that are alike. Be prepared to explain your reasoning.
[IMG]
Choose a match you and your partner made. Write down how you know the drawing matches the array.

Activity Synthesis
Have 2-3 students share the matches they made and describe how they know those cards go together.
“Did your group agree on the matches? What did you look for to decide two cards were matches?” (Yes, we looked for equal groups that had the same number of dots in a group as one of the rows in the array.)
Listen for language students use to describe their matches and the structure of the arrays. As needed, ask:
“What do you mean by _____?”
“What else could we call _____?”
“How could you use ‘equal groups’ to explain your match?”
Highlight the use of terms like row, column, and equal groups.
