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: 
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: Solve word problems involving dollar bills, quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies, using $ and ¢ symbols appropriately. Example: If you have 2 dimes and 3 pennies, how many cents do you have?
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to answer questions about the data represented by their picture graphs and bar graphs. Students switch workbooks with a new partner, which is an opportunity for students to view each other’s work and see different representations of data. While students are answering questions based on different graphs, identify the questions that are harder for students to answer. These questions can be discussed in the lesson synthesis. In upcoming lessons, students will have more opportunities to work with questions that require comparing categories.
Representation: Internalize Comprehension.
Synthesis: Invite students to identify which details were important or most useful to pay attention to. Display the sentence frame, “The next time I answer questions about a graph, I will . . . .“
Supports accessibility for: Conceptual Processing, Memory
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Materials from a previous lesson
Required Preparation
Each student needs the picture graph and bar graph they created in the previous lesson.
Launch
Groups of 2: different partner than previous activity
“Tear out the page in your books labeled ‘Answering Questions Using Graphs.’”
Activity
“Now you are going to answer questions a different partner has written about their graphs.”
“Write your name and your partner’s name on the top of the page.”
“Trade graphs and questions with your partner. Answer each of the questions your partner wrote.”
6 minutes: independent work time
“Discuss the questions and answers with your partner to see if you agree.”
6 minutes: partner discussion
Monitor for students who mention the graph features like the title or labels when answering, "How did you know where to find the answer to each question?"
Student Facing
Answer your partner’s questions from Activity 1 using the graphs.
