Example 1:
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.

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: 
Construct a tangent line from a point outside a given circle to the circle.

Answer: 
No. This task does not involve drawing lines that are tangent to circles. The only line that may be drawn is the ray between points P and B.

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

standard_description: Understand the conditional probability of A given B as P(A and B)/P(B), and interpret independence of A and B as saying that the conditional probability of A given B is the same as the probability of A, and the conditional probability of B given A is the same as the probability of B.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to build arrays with physical objects and describe the arrays in terms of multiplication. Students focus on where equal groups can be seen in arrays. Students will write expressions and equations to represent arrays in future lessons. In the activity, students are asked to create different arrays with 24 cubes. It is not an expectation of grade 3 for students to find all the arrays for a given number.
When students notice that the rows or columns in an array have the same number of objects and relate this to equal groups, they look for and make use of structure (MP7).
Keep connecting cubes out for the cool-down.
MLR8 Discussion Supports.
Synthesis:
Create a visual display of the various arrays created by the students. As students discuss each array, annotate the display with the language used, such as “array”, “rows”, “columns”, and “equal groups”.
Advances: Speaking, Representing
Representation: Internalize Comprehension.
Synthesis: Invite students to identify what is important or most useful to pay attention to. Display the sentence frame, “The next time I arrange objects in an array, I will remember to . . . .“
Supports accessibility for: Conceptual Processing, Visual-Spatial Processing, Memory
Required Materials

Connecting cubes
Required Preparation
Each group of 2 needs 60 cubes.
Launch
Groups of 2
Give each group of 2 students at least 60 connecting cubes.
Activity
7–10 minutes: partner work time
Monitor for students who relate the same number of objects in each row and column in an array to how multiplication expresses equal groups of objects.

Activity Synthesis
Have students share different arrays they made for the last problem.
“Why were you able to create different arrays with 24 objects?” (There are many ways to put 24 things into equal groups.)
