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.
Who is right? Draw a picture to help you explain your answer.


Standard options: 
A. Explain why a fraction a/b is equivalent to a fraction (n × a)/(n × b) by using visual fraction models, with attention to how the number and size of the parts differ even though the two fractions themselves are the same size. Use this principle to recognize and generate equivalent fractions.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 100.
B. Compare two fractions with different numerators and different denominators, e.g., by creating common denominators or numerators, or by comparing to a benchmark fraction such as 1/2. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two fractions refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual fraction model.

Your response:
A, B

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

4
options: Understand that by similarity, side ratios in right triangles are properties of the angles in the triangle, leading to definitions of trigonometric ratios for acute angles.

Use trigonometric ratios and the Pythagorean Theorem to solve right triangles in applied problems.

Explain and use the relationship between the sine and cosine of complementary angles.
problem_activity: Warm-up
This warm-up helps students recall the use of the Pythagorean Theorem and right triangle trigonometry. They’ll use these concepts in subsequent activities.
Launch
Provide students with access to scientific calculators.
Student Facing
Calculate the height of each solid. Round your answers to the nearest tenth if needed.

Anticipated Misconceptions
The height is not drawn in on the cylinder, so students may not be able to visualize the right triangle involved in the problem. Encourage them to draw in the height and think back to other problems from prior units involving angles and degree measurements.
Students may be uncertain how to round the first answer. Remind them that 16.0 is considered a “rounded” answer because the additional decimal digits to the right have been dropped.
Activity Synthesis
Ask students what strategies they used, and how they chose those strategies. Invite them to explain why they can use the Pythagorean Theorem for the cone problem but not the cylinder problem. Remind students that they can use their reference chart to recall the trigonometric ratio definitions.
