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:
{
  "explanation": "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.

options: Relate counting to addition and subtraction (e.g., by counting on 2 to add 2).

Add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency for addition and subtraction within 10. Use strategies such as counting on; making ten (e.g., 8 + 6 = 8 + 2 + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14); decomposing a number leading to a ten (e.g., 13 – 4 = 13 – 3 – 1 = 10 – 1 = 9); using the relationship between addition and subtraction (e.g., knowing that 8 + 4 = 12, one knows 12 – 8 = 4); and creating equivalent but easier or known sums (e.g., adding 6 + 7 by creating the known equivalent 6 + 6 + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13).
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to find the value of differences within 10. Students are encouraged to think about how patterns in subtraction problems and knowing sums within 10 can help them find the value of the differences. Students may use take away or counting on methods. The problems are written for students to think about different methods for solving. For example, students may find the value of
\(10 - 3\)
by taking away 3 to get 7, then see that they can find
\(10 - 7\)
by knowing the relationship between 3, 7, and 10. Students should work in groups of 2, with a different partner than they had in the previous activity.
Engagement: Provide Access by Recruiting Interest.
Provide choice. Invite students to decide which problem to start with.
Supports accessibility for: Social-Emotional Functioning, Attention
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Connecting cubes or two-color counters
Launch
Groups of 2
Give students access to connecting cubes or two-color counters.
Activity
Read the task statement.
“You will first find the value of each difference on your own. Then you will share your thinking with a different partner than last activity.”
5 minutes: independent work time
2 minutes: partner discussion
Student Facing

Activity Synthesis
“Were there any expressions that helped you with another expression? How did they help you?” (
\(10 - 3\)
and
\(10 - 7\)
. They are related because
\(3 + 7 = 10\)
.
\(9 - 6\)
,
\(9 - 5\)
, and
\(9 - 4\)
. There is a pattern. Since the number being subtracted gets 1 bigger, the difference gets 1 smaller.)
