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


Concept/skill: 
Understand that by similarity, side ratios in right triangles are properties of the angles in the triangle, leading to definitions of trigonometric ratios for acute angles.

Answer: 
No. This problem does not directly teach how side ratios in right triangles lead to definitions of trigonometric ratios. Instead, it involves solving a trigonometric function.

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

HS_0
standard_description: Prove the Pythagorean identity sin^(2)(θ) + cos^(2)(θ) = 1 and use it to find sin(θ), cos(θ),or tan(θ) given sin(θ), cos(θ), or tan(θ) and the quadrant of the angle.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to connect story problems to the equations that represent them and to solve different types of story problems. Students identify equations with a symbol for the unknown that match a story problem and justify their decisions by describing how the equations represent the quantities and any actions in the story problem (MP4). When students analyze and connect the quantities and structures in the story problems and equations, they are thinking abstractly and quantitatively (MP2) and making use of structure (MP7).
MLR8 Discussion Supports.
Display sentence frames to support discussion as students explain their reasoning to their partner: “I noticed ___ , so I matched . . .” Encourage students to challenge each other when they disagree.

Equations for Different Types of Word Problems
Required Preparation
Create a set of cards from the blackline master for each group of 2
–
4.
Each group of 2
–
4 needs a set of cards from the previous lesson.
Launch
Groups of 2
–
4
Give each group the story problems (Cards A–I) from the Story Problem and Diagram Cards.
Give one set of Equation Cards to each group of students.
Give each group access to base-ten blocks.
“Take turns reading the story problems. After one person reads, work together to find an equation that matches. When you think you have found a match, explain to your group why the cards match.”
“If you think that more than one card could match the story, explain the match to your group.”
As needed, demonstrate the activity with a student volunteer.
“When your group finishes, choose 2 story problems from Cards F, G, H, or I and solve them.”
Activity
6 minutes: partner work time
Monitor for students who explain why more than one equation may match a story and how the equations match the quantities in the context of the story problem.
4 minutes: independent work time
Student Facing
Match each story problem with an equation. Explain why the cards match.
Choose 2 story problems and solve them. Show your thinking.

Advancing Student Thinking
Students may believe that only one equation could match each story. Encourage
students to describe how equations match any actions in the story and whether any other equations show the same actions. If there are no actions in the story, ask students to explain why one or more cards shows the relationship between the parts and the whole. Consider providing the tape diagrams from the previous activity to support students in their explanations.
Activity Synthesis
Invite students to share a match for each story.
Consider asking:
“How does the equation match the story problem?”
“Is there another equation that could match the story problem? Explain why or why not.”
