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:
Thought: This problem involves understanding fractions and division to divide rational numbers, such as 1, -4, 4, and -1. This problem also involves an understanding of multiplication: if p and q are integers, then -(p/q) = (-p)/q = p/(-q).
Answer: B

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

Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to whole numbers less than or equal to 1,000,000.

Find whole-number quotients and remainders with up to four-digit dividends and one-digit divisors, using strategies based on place value, the properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division. Illustrate and explain the calculation by using equations, rectangular arrays, and/or area models.

problem_activity: Problem 1
Mr. Wynn now wants to cover a part of the gym with butcher paper to work on a large painting. He covers a section of the gym that is 30 feet long and 35 feet wide. Then he realizes he needs a bit more space for the painting and adds a section of butcher paper that is 4 feet long and 35 feet wide.
a.   How many square feet of butcher paper did Mr. Wynn use for his painting?
b.   What is the total length and width of Mr. Wynn’s painting?
Problem 2
a.   Label the area model to represent 31 × 23 and to find that product.
Decompose each number into its base-ten units (tens and ones) and write them in the boxes on each side of the rectangle.
[IMG]
Label regions A, B, C, and D with their areas. Show your reasoning.
Find the product that the area model represents. Show your reasoning.
b.   Here is one way to calculate 31 × 23. Each number with a box gives the area of one region in the area model.
[IMG]
In the boxes next to each number, write the letter of the corresponding region.
There is a 1 above the hundreds digit in the sum. What does that 1 represent?
Problem 3
Estimate each product. Then use any method to solve.
a.
$$26\times37$$
b.
$$81\times52$$
c.
$$68\times73$$
