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:
{
  "explanation": "This task asks students to compare two fractions that are equal. The two fractions have different numerators and denominators (e.g. 1/4 and 3/12). The students need to explain why the two fractions are equal by drawing a picture, which involves using visual fraction models.",
  "answer": "A, B"

options: Represent real world and mathematical problems by graphing points in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane, and interpret coordinate values of points in the context of the situation.

Use a pair of perpendicular number lines, called axes, to define a coordinate system, with the intersection of the lines (the origin) arranged to coincide with the 0 on each line and a given point in the plane located by using an ordered pair of numbers, called its coordinates. Understand that the first number indicates how far to travel from the origin in the direction of one axis, and the second number indicates how far to travel in the direction of the second axis, with the convention that the names of the two axes and the coordinates correspond (e.g., x-axis and x-coordinate, y-axis and y-coordinate).
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to describe coordinates for points. After playing a round of What’s the Point, students have an opportunity to write a description of the location of a point in the coordinate plane. The structure of this part of the activity mirrors what students did in the previous lesson when they were describing a rectangle. Some students may use the coordinates on the grid while others may use words to describe the location of the point.
Students make choices about how to revise their thinking based on what makes the description stronger and clearer to them. This activity not only supports students developing language to describe the location of a point but also develops a deeper understanding of the coordinate grid (MP6). Invite students to use language from the display from an earlier lesson if they find it helpful.

Required Materials
Materials to Copy
What's the Point
Required Preparation
Create a set of cards from the blackline master for each group of 2.
Launch
Groups of 2.
Activity
10 minutes: partner work time
Monitor for students who:
revise their thinking
refer to the numbers on the coordinate grid to communicate the location of the point
MLR1 Stronger and Clearer Each Time
“Share your description of the location of the point on the grid 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 1–2 different partners.
If needed, display question starters and prompts for feedback, such as:
“Can you use the numbers on the coordinate grid in your explanation?”
“Revise your initial draft based on the feedback you got from your partner.”
2–3 minutes: independent work time
Student Facing
Play 2 rounds of What’s the Point so each partner gets a chance to draw.
Sit back to back with your partner.
Partner A: Choose a card. Then, describe the location of the point to your partner.
Partner B: Draw the point on the blank coordinate grid.
Compare the card with your partner’s diagram.
Discuss: What’s the same? What’s different?

Advancing Student Thinking
If students do not reference the axes or the directionality of the gridlines, show them point
\((3, 4)\)
and point
\((4, 3)\)
on a grid and ask, “What is the same and different about these two points?”
Activity Synthesis
Select previously identified students to share how they revised their explanation for the location of the point in the last problem.
Display the image of the coordinate grid with a point from the student workbook.
“The point can be described using the
coordinates
\((3, 4)\)
. Where do you think these coordinates come from?” (They describe the location of the point. The point is on gridline 3 and gridline 4. The point is where these gridlines intersect.)
