Hands-on Activity: Measuring Force with an Inclined Plane
Project-Based Learning…activities designed to answer a question or solve a problem, and that generally reflect the types of learning and work that people do in the everyday world outside of the classroom.

Sample Extension Exercises: Visual Representations of Fractions
4.NF.A.2Extend understanding of fraction equivalence and ordering.
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. … Record the results of comparisons with symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual fraction model.

Common Core Math Practices
MP3: Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.Mathematically proficient students…justify their conclusions, communicate them to others, and respond to the arguments of others. Elementary students can construct arguments using concrete referents such as objects, drawings, diagrams, and actions.

Common Core Math Practices
MP6: Attend to PrecisionMathematically proficient students try to communicate precisely to others. They try to use clear definitions in discussion with others and in their own reasoning. They are careful about specifying units of measure, and… express numerical answers with a degree of precision appropriate for the problem context.
