Example:
Problem/activity:
Find the general solution for:
$${\mathrm{cos}\left({\pi\over2}+x\right)=\mathrm{tan}{\pi\over4}}$$


Concept/skill: 
Prove the addition and subtraction formulas for sine, cosine, and tangent and use them to solve problems.

Answer: 
Yes. An initial step when solving for x in this problem requires the use of the addition formula for cosine on the left side of the equation.

Now, does the following problem or activity enable students to learn the full intent of the following concept or skill?

HS_0
standard_description: Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication to multiply a fraction or whole number by a fraction.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to practice multiplying fractions. The structure of the activity is identical to the previous one except that the goal is to have the smallest product. Monitor for students who identify the common structure with the previous game and place the larger numbers in the denominator and the smaller ones in the numerator (MP8).
Engagement: Internalize Self-Regulation.
Synthesis: Provide students an opportunity to self-assess and reflect on their own progress. For example, ask students to compare their calculated products to their partner’s. Encourage students to include how each factor impacted the product in their comparisons.

Launch
Groups of 2
“We are going to play another round of Fraction Multiplication Compare, but this time the person with the smallest product is the winner.”
“Will you use the same strategy that you used when trying to make the greatest product?" (No because there the goal was to get the biggest product.)
1 minute: quiet think time
1 minute: partner discussion
Give each group a paper clip.
“Play Fraction Multiplication Compare with your partner.”

[IMG]
Use the directions to play Fraction Multiplication Compare with your partner.
Spin the spinner.
Write the number you spun in one of the four blank boxes.
Player two spins and writes the number on their game board.
Continue taking turns until all four blank boxes are filled.
Multiply your fractions.
The player with the smallest product wins.
Play again.
Round 1
\(\frac{\boxed{\phantom{111\frac{1}{1}}}}{\boxed{\phantom{111\frac{1}{1}}}}\, \times\, \frac{\boxed{\phantom{111\frac{1}{1}}}}{\boxed{\phantom{111\frac{1}{1}}}}\, =\, \underline{\hspace{1cm}}\)
Round 2
\(\frac{\boxed{\phantom{111\frac{1}{1}}}}{\boxed{\phantom{111\frac{1}{1}}}}\, \times \, \frac{\boxed{\phantom{111\frac{1}{1}}}}{\boxed{\phantom{111\frac{1}{1}}}}\, = \,\underline{\hspace{1cm}}\)
What strategy did you use to choose where to write the numbers?

Activity Synthesis
“How was this game the same as the earlier version of Fraction Multiplication Compare?” (I knew where to put big numbers like 8 and 9 and small numbers like 1 and 2. It was hard to know where to put the middle numbers like 4 or 5.)
“How did your strategy change when trying to make the smallest product?” (It was the opposite of the first game. I tried to put the biggest numbers in the denominator and the smallest numbers in the numerator).
