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: 
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: Represent whole numbers as lengths from 0 on a number line diagram with equally spaced points corresponding to the numbers 0, 1, 2, ..., and represent whole-number sums and differences within 100 on a number line diagram.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to learn stage 2 of the Greatest of Them All center. Students use digit cards to create the greatest possible number. As each student draws a card, they choose where to write it on the recording sheet. Once a digit is placed, it can’t be moved. Students compare their numbers using
\(<\)
,
\(>\)
, or
\(=\)
. The player with the greater number in each round gets a point.
Students should remove cards that show 10 from their deck.
MLR2 Collect and Display.
Synthesis: Direct attention to the words collected and displayed on the anchor chart from the previous lessons. Invite students to borrow place value language from the display as needed.
Advances: Conversing, Reading
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Number cards 0–10
Materials to Copy
Greatest of Them All Stage 2 Recording Sheet
Launch
Groups of 2
Give each group a set of number cards and each student a recording sheet.
“Now you will be playing the Greatest of Them All center with your partner.”
“You will try to make the greatest three-digit number you can.”
Display number cards and recording sheet.
Demonstrate picking a card.
“If I pick a (2), I need to decide whether I want to put it in the hundreds, tens, or ones place to make the largest three-digit number.”
“Where do you think I should put it?” (I think it should go in the ones place because it is a low number. In the hundreds place, it would only be 200.)
30 seconds: quiet think time
Share responses.
“At the same time, my partner is picking cards and building a number, too.”
“Take turns picking a card and writing each digit in a space.”
“Read your comparison aloud to your partner.”
Activity
“Now play a few rounds with your partner.”
15 minutes: partner work time
Activity Synthesis
Select a group to share a comparison statement. For example:
\(654 > 349 \)
and
\(349 < 654\)
.
“I noticed that partners had different comparison statements for the same numbers. How can they both be true?”
“If I draw an 8, where should I choose to place it and why?” (I would put it in the hundreds place since it’s almost the highest number I could
draw
. I might not get 9. With 800, I have a good chance for my number to be larger than my partner’s.)
