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: 
Solve quadratic equations in one variable.

Answer: 
Yes. This task shows one quadratic equation with 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: 
Construct a tangent line from a point outside a given circle to the circle.

Answer: 
No. This task does not involve drawing lines that are tangent to circles. The only line that may be drawn is the ray between points P and B.

problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to learn stage 3 of the Shake and Spill center. Students practice counting to find the total of 2 groups of objects and representing addition with an expression.
After they participate in the center, students choose from any stage of previously introduced centers.

Shake and Spill Stage 3 Recording Sheet Kindergarten
Required Preparation
Each group of 2 needs 10 two-color counters.
Each group of 2 needs access to a yellow crayon and a red crayon.
Gather materials from:
Number Race, Stage 1
Math Stories, Stages 1 and 2
Launch
Groups of 2
Give each group of students two-color counters and red and yellow crayons. Give each student a recording sheet.
“We are going to learn a new way to play Shake and Spill. One partner will choose some counters, shake them, and spill them. Then draw a picture to show the red and yellow counters. Work together to figure out how to fill in an expression to show how many red and yellow counters. Take turns shaking and spilling the counters.”
Activity
8 minutes: partner work time
“Now you can choose another center. You can also continue playing Shake and Spill.”
Display the center choices in the student book.
Invite students to work at the center of their choice.
10 minutes: center work time
If time, invite students to choose another center.
