Example 1:
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.

Example 2:
Problem/activity:
Task
Solve the quadratic equation
$$ x^2 = (2x - 9)^2 $$
using as many different methods as possible.


Concept/skill: 
Understand that the graph of an equation in two variables is the set of all its solutions plotted in the coordinate plane, often forming a curve (which could be a line).

Answer: 
No. This task does not involve an equation in two variables. There is only one variable, x.

Example 3:
Problem/activity:
Task
Suppose $A$ is an angle with vertex $P$, as pictured below:
[IMG]
Draw a circle with center $P$ and with  radius $r \gt 0$.  Explain why the circle
meets each ray of angle $A$ in a single point.  Label these points $Q$ and $R$ respectively.
Draw circles with centers $Q$ and $R$ respectively and radius $r$.  These circles meet at $P$ and a second point to be labelled $B$.
Show that ray $\overrightarrow{PB}$  bisects angle $P$.


Concept/skill: 
Make formal geometric constructions with a variety of tools and methods (compass and straightedge, string, reflective devices, paper folding, dynamic geometric software, etc.). Copying a segment; copying an angle; bisecting a segment; bisecting an angle; constructing perpendicular lines, including the perpendicular bisector of a line segment; and constructing a line parallel to a given line through a point not on the line.

Answer: 
Yes. This task asks students to draw a ray that bisects an angle. The act of drawing circles and rays may involve compass and straightedge or dynamic geometric software.

standard_description: For any number from 1 to 9, find the number that makes 10 when added to the given number, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record the answer with a drawing or equation.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to make groups with more or fewer objects than a given group of objects. When asking students to make a group that has more objects than the given group, the given group will have very few objects. Similarly, when asking them to make a group that has fewer objects than the given group, the given group will have many objects. This should allow students to create and compare the groups visually. In a future lesson, students will create groups with more or fewer objects than a given group when the quantities are closer, where it will be helpful for students to match or count the objects in each group.
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Counters
Materials from a previous activity
Required Preparation
Each group of 2 needs a bag of green triangle and orange square pattern blocks from the previous activity.
Launch
Groups of 2
Give each group of students a bag of 8–10 green triangle pattern blocks and a bag of 1–3 orange square pattern blocks.
Activity
“Make a group with counters that has more than the group of orange squares.”
30 seconds: quiet think time
1 minute: partner work time
“Figure out and tell your partner how many counters you have. Then figure out and tell your partner how many orange squares you have.”
2 minutes: partner work time
“Make a group with counters that has fewer than the group of green triangles.”
30 seconds: quiet think time
1 minute: partner work time
“Figure out and tell your partner how many counters you have. Then figure out and tell your partner how many green triangles you have.”
2 minutes: partner work time
Activity Synthesis
Invite 2–3 students to share the groups of counters that they made that have fewer than the green triangles.
“What is the same about the groups they made? What is different?” (They all made groups with different numbers of counters. They all have fewer than the green triangles.)
