Example 1:
Problem/activity:
Find the general solution for:
$${\mathrm{cos}\left({\pi\over2}+x\right)=\mathrm{tan}{\pi\over4}}$$


Description: 
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.


Description: 
Understand that the graph of an equation in two variables is the set of all its solutions plotted in the coordinate plane, often forming a curve (which could be a line).

Answer: 
No. This task does not involve an equation in two variables. There is only 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 $P$.


Description: 
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.

problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to compare three-digit numbers based on their understanding of place value. They are invited to explain or show their thinking in any way that makes sense to them. A number line is provided. Students may revise their thinking after locating the numbers on the number line, or may choose to draw diagrams to represent their thinking. During the activity synthesis, methods based on comparing the value of digits by place are highlighted.
For the last problem, students persevere in problem solving as there are many ways to make most of inequalities true but students will need to think strategically in order to fill out all of them. In particular, 810 can be used in the first, second, or fourth inequality but it needs to be used in the fourth because it is the
only
number on the list that is larger than 793.
Representation: Develop Language and Symbols.
Represent the problem in multiple ways to support understanding of the situation. For example, have one group member place the numbers on a number line to verify which number is greater. Another option is to have one group member make the numbers using base-ten blocks to prove which is greater.

“In the warm-up, you saw that different forms of writing a number can help you think about the value of each digit.”
Write
\(564\phantom{3} \boxed{\phantom{33}}\phantom{3}504\)
on the board.
“What symbol would make this expression true? Explain.” (>, because they both have 500, but the first number has 6 tens or 60 and the second number has 0 tens.)
Activity
“Today you will be comparing three-digit numbers by looking at place value.”
“If it helps, you can use base-ten diagrams or expanded form to help you think about place value.”
“Try it on your own and then compare with your partner.”
5 minutes: independent work time
5 minutes: partner work time
Monitor for students who compare the numbers without drawing base-ten diagrams or using a number line.

Advancing Student Thinking
If students write comparison statements that are not true, consider asking:
“Could you read each statement aloud?”
“How did you know your statement is true?”
“How could you use the base-ten diagram or number line to help you show whether your statement is true or false?”

Display
\(500 + 60 + 4 > 500 + 4\)
.
“We decided that this was a true statement. How does the expanded form of these numbers help justify our thinking?” (We can see the value of each place, so we can compare each digit.)
Invite previously selected students to share how they compared numbers without drawing diagrams or using the number line.
