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"

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

options: Count to answer “how many?” questions about as many as 20 things arranged in a line, a rectangular array, or a circle, or as many as 10 things in a scattered configuration; given a number from 1–20, count out that many objects.

Understand the relationship between numbers and quantities; connect counting to cardinality.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to learn stage 2 of the Less, Same, More center. Students compare groups of images in different arrangements. The activity synthesis highlights that numbers that are fewer than 5 come before 5 in the count sequence and numbers that are more than 5 come after 5 in the count sequence. This idea will be revisited in future sections and units. Students need repeated experiences comparing groups of objects, images, and numbers to be able to notice, articulate, and use the connection between the counting sequence and comparing the size of numbers (MP7, MP8).
The recording sheet is printed in the student book for this activity. There is a blackline master available for students to use during centers in future activities and lessons.
MLR8 Discussion Supports.
Remind students to use comparison language such as “fewer than,” “the same number as,” or “more than.”
Advances: Listening, Speaking
Required Materials
Materials to Copy
Less, Same, More Mat
Image Cards Grade K
Required Preparation
Create a T-chart labeled "Fewer than 5" and "More than 5".
Launch
Groups of 2
Give each group of students a set of cards.
“We are going to learn a new way to play the Less, Same, More center.”
Display the student page.
“How many dots are in the box?” (5)
30 seconds: quiet think time
Share responses.
Display an image card.
“How many dots are there?”
30 seconds: quiet think time.
Share responses.
“Are there fewer, the same, or more than 5? How do you know?”
Point to each part of the mat as you explain: “If it shows fewer than 5, put the card on the left. If it shows the same number, put the card in the middle. If it shows more, put the card on the right.”
“Choose a card, figure out how many things are on the card, and figure out if the image shows fewer, the same, or more than 5 images.”

Activity Synthesis
Display t-chart labeled ‘Fewer than 5’ on the left and ‘More than 5’ on the right.
“Choose a card that shows fewer than 5. How many things are on your card?”
30 seconds: partner work time
Share responses.
Write the numbers on the left side of the t-chart as students share.
Repeat for cards that show more than 5.
Read the numbers on each side of the chart.
“What do you notice? What do you wonder?” (It sounds like you are counting. The numbers you say before 5 are all together on one side and the numbers you say after 5 are on the other side.)
