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.

problem_activity: Narrative
This activity prompts students to examine patterns in multiples of 10 and 9, and to notice that the digits in the multiples of 9 can be reasoned in relation to the more-familiar multiples of 10. Students use what they know about the place value and operations to explain the patterns in these multiples (MP7). For instance, students may reason that, because 9 is 1 less than 10, to find
\(12 \times 9\)
is to find the
\(12 \times 10\)
and then subtract 1 twelve times (or subtract
\(12 \times 1\)
) from the product.
The reasoning in this activity prepares them to notice patterns in the multiples of 100 and 99 in the next lesson.
MLR8 Discussion Supports.
Use multimodal examples to show the patterns of both columns. Use verbal descriptions along with gestures, drawings, or concrete objects to show the connection between the multiples of 9 and 10.
Advances: Listening, Representing
Representation: Access for Perception.
Synthesis: Use pictures of the long rectangle base-ten blocks to help students visualize the patterns. For example, display a picture of eight long rectangle base-ten blocks. Count by 10 while pointing to each block. Then, cross out one unit in each block and discuss how this shows that counting by 9 is like multiplying by 10 and subtracting.

Launch
Groups of 2
Read the opening paragraph as a class.
“Which do you prefer, counting by 10 or counting by 9? Why?” (Counting by 10 because I've been doing that since kindergarten.)
30 seconds: partner discussion
“Let’s look at numbers we get by counting by 9 and by 10 and see what patterns we can find.”
Activity
“Take a few quiet minutes to work on the first few problems. Then, share your thinking and complete the rest of the activity with your partner.”
5–6 minutes: independent work time
5–6 minutes: partner discussion
Monitor for students who:
can clearly explain the pattern of the digits in multiples of 10 in terms of place value
notice connections between the values in the two columns and use them to explain the patterns in the digits in multiples of 9
Student Facing
Andre’s class is choral counting by 10 and then by 9. The left column shows the numbers they say when counting by 10.
Complete the right column with the first ten numbers the class will say when counting by 9.
What patterns do you notice about the features of the numerical patterns? Make at least two observations about each list of numbers.
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"align": "center", "border": "1"}, "thead": [{"tr": [{"th": [{"_attributes": {"scope": "col"}, "_value": "counting by 10"}, {"_attributes": {"scope": "col"}, "_value": "counting by 9"}]}]}], "tbody": [{"tr": [{"td": [{"_value": "10"}, {}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "20"}, {}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "30"}, {}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "40"}, {}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "50"}, {}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "60"}, {}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "70"}, {}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "80"}, {}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "90"}, {}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "100"}, {}]}]}]}]}
For the numbers in the “counting by 10” column, why do you think:
the digits in the tens place change the way they do?
the digits in the ones place are the way they are?
For the numbers in the “counting by 9” column, why do you think the digits in the ones place change the way they do? Explain your reasoning.

Advancing Student Thinking
Students may not see that the digit in the ones place decreases by 1 each time the count goes up by 9. Consider asking:
“What patterns do you see in the pair of numbers in each row?”
“How do you think the numbers in the ‘counting by 9’ column are related to those in the ‘counting by 10’ column?”
Activity Synthesis
Display the completed table.
Invite students to share the patterns they noticed in the numbers in each column. Record their observations by annotating the numbers in the table.
If no students mentioned that the two sets of numbers are multiples of 10 and multiples of 9, ask them about it.
Select previously identified students to share their responses to the last two problems.
If no students reason that counting by 9 can be thought of as counting by 10 and subtracting 1 each time, bring this to their attention.
In other words, counting by 9 once means
\(10- 1\)
, which is 9. Counting by 9 again means adding another
\(10 -1\)
to 9, or
\(9 + 10 - 1\)
, which is 18.  Counting by 9 a third time means
\(18 + 10 - 1\)
, which is 27. And so on.
“Counting by 9 eight times is the same as counting by 10 eight times and subtracting 1 eight times, or
\((8 \times 10) - (8 \times 1)\)
, which is
\(80 - 8\)
or 72.”
