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

standard_description: Use addition and subtraction within 100 to solve one- and two-step word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.
problem_activity: Task
Lin wants to put some red and blue tiles on a wall for decoration. She is thinking about several different patterns of tiles she could create. She wants to choose a pattern that would let her use exactly as many red tiles as blue tiles.
Is it possible to create the pattern below using the same number of red tiles as blue tiles? Explain.

Can you figure out how many tiles are in the pattern below without counting them one by one? Is it possible to create this pattern using the same number of red tiles as blue tiles? Explain.
[IMG]
Of the patterns above, which ones have an even number of tiles? Which ones have an odd number of tiles? If Lin wants to use an equal number of red tiles and blue tiles, should she use a pattern with an even number of tiles, or one with an odd number of tiles? Explain.
