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


Description: 
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, assess whether the following problem or activity aligns with the provided description.

problem_activity: Warm-up
This Math Talk encourages students to think about the relationship between base 10 logarithms and exponential expressions. Students have a chance to rewrite decimals, fractions, and base 10 numbers as powers of 10 in order to see which power of 10 the number is equal to and so find its base 10 logarithm. They will use this skill later in the lesson and in future lessons in order to calculate or estimate different logarithms.
Launch
Remind students that logarithms with no specified base are base-10 logarithms.
Display one problem at a time. Give students quiet think time for each problem and ask them to give a signal when they have an answer and a strategy. Keep all problems displayed throughout the talk. Follow with a whole-class discussion.
Representation: Internalize Comprehension.
To support working memory, provide students with sticky notes or mini whiteboards.

Activity Synthesis
Ask students to share their strategies for each problem. Record and display their responses for all to see. To involve more students in the conversation, consider asking:
“Who can restate
\(\underline{\hspace{.5in}}\)
’s reasoning in a different way?”
“Did anyone have the same strategy but would explain it differently?”
“Did anyone solve the problem in a different way?”
“Does anyone want to add on to
\(\underline{\hspace{.5in}}\)
’s strategy?”
“Do you agree or disagree? Why?”
If not already mentioned, make sure students recall that numbers such as 0.1 and
\(\frac{1}{1,000}\)
are still powers of 10 but they have negative exponents (that is, 0.1 is
\(10^{\text -1}\)
, and
\(\frac {1}{1,000}\)
is
\(\frac{1}{10^3}\)
or
\(10^{\text-3}\)
). This suggests that the logarithms of numbers that are less than 1 would be negative.
Speaking: MLR8 Discussion Supports.
Display sentence frames to support students when they explain their strategy. For example, "First, I _____ because…” or "I noticed _____ so I . . . .” Some students may benefit from the opportunity to rehearse what they will say with a partner before they share with the whole class.
