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: 
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 $P$.


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.

standard_description: Use statistics appropriate to the shape of the data distribution to compare center (median, mean) and spread (interquartile range, standard deviation) of two or more different data sets.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is to use the standard algorithm to add multi-digit numbers, taking care to compose a new unit and record it accurately. They also analyze common errors and critique the given reasoning when composing a new unit (MP3).

“Complete the first 2 problem and then talk to your partner about any patterns you notice.”
Activity
3 minutes: independent work time
2 minutes: partner discussion
Share and record responses.
If needed, use the expanded form to help students make connections between the way composing a larger unit is recorded when using the standard algorithm and what is happening in each place. In the bottom line of the example here, we see 10 in the ones place and 100 in the tens place. Both partial sums do not match the assigned values of their places.

Advancing Student Thinking
Students may need support identifying errors in the last problem. Consider asking: “How might subtraction be used to help identify the error?”
Activity Synthesis
Ask students to share the errors they identified in the last set of questions.
“What are some common errors when adding large numbers?”
