Example 1:
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.

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.

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

standard_description: Explain why a fraction a/b is equivalent to a fraction (n × a)/(n × b) by using visual fraction models, with attention to how the number and size of the parts differ even though the two fractions themselves are the same size. Use this principle to recognize and generate equivalent fractions.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 100.
problem_activity: Problem 1
a.   Fill in the following blanks to make true statements. Use base ten blocks to help you.
1 thousand is the same as _______ hundreds.
1 hundred is the same as _______ tens.
1 ten is the same as _______ ones.
1 one is the same as _______ tenths.
b.   Below is an area model that represents 1 one. It is partitioned into tenths. Partition it to show what you would expect the next smallest unit to look like so that it continues the pattern in Part (a).
[IMG]
c.   Use what you notice in Part (a) and (b) to write a similar sentence that starts “1 tenth is the same as…”
Problem 2
The shaded part of this diagram represents 1 hundredth. We can write this as the fraction
$$\frac{1}{100}$$
or as the decimal
0.01.

Fill out the following table to represent each given number.
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["table", "table-bordered"], "style": "width: 100%;"}, "tbody": [{"tr": [{"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Diagram"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Unit Form"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Fraction Form"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Decimal Form"}]}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}, "p": [{"img": [{"_attributes": {"src": "https://d21royfkw9g4l6.cloudfront.net/UXbX2I0Zc5A1kLpwT6BAA2_C9OM62.png"}}]}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}, "_value": "7 hundredths"}, {}, {}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}, "p": [{"img": [{"_attributes": {"src": "https://d21royfkw9g4l6.cloudfront.net/UXbX2I0Zc5A1kLpwT6BAA2_C9OM62.png"}}]}]}, {}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$$\\frac{32}{100}$$"}]}, {}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}, "p": [{"img": [{"_attributes": {"src": "https://d21royfkw9g4l6.cloudfront.net/UXbX2I0Zc5A1kLpwT6BAA2_C9OM62.png"}}]}]}, {}, {}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}, "_value": "0.85"}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}, "p": [{"img": [{"_attributes": {"src": "https://d21royfkw9g4l6.cloudfront.net/xJTfKSJObLTngvzpCrjGcc_LY71VX.png"}}]}]}, {}, {}, {}]}]}]}]}

Problem 4
Jani and Kai are representing a decimal number. Here are the area models they drew:
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"align": "center", "class": ["table"], "style": "width:50%"}, "tbody": [{"tr": [{"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}, "_value": "Jani"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}, "_value": "Kai"}]}, {"td": [{"p": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}, "img": [{"_attributes": {"src": "https://d21royfkw9g4l6.cloudfront.net/pCjOWHyq93ljOqoarBpFRi_XAG8G1.png"}}]}]}, {"p": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}, "img": [{"_attributes": {"src": "https://d21royfkw9g4l6.cloudfront.net/IX0bwHJs13FGRL7TldfH6i_9P5SGX.png"}}]}]}]}]}]}]}
