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: 
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: 
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: Read and write multi-digit whole numbers using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form. Compare two multi-digit numbers based on meanings of the digits in each place, using >, =, and < symbols to record the results of comparisons.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to whole numbers less than or equal to 1,000,000.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to compare decimals using the context of distance. Students should have access to hundredths grids, if they choose to use them. Monitor for students who compare the decimals using
place value reasoning to compare the 1 tenth for Diego's throw with the 1 hundredth for Jada's throw
hundredths grids for the decimal part of the throws
number lines, recalling work from a previous course
When students decide to compare the decimals using number lines or hundredths grids, they are using appropriate tools strategically (MP5).
MLR8 Discussion Supports.
Encourage students to begin partner discussions by reading their written responses aloud. If time allows, invite students to revise or add to their responses based on the conversation that follows.

“Have you ever thrown a frisbee?”
Poll the class.
“A frisbee is a disc. In the Olympics, there is an event called the discus throw. Participants try to throw a metal disc as far as they can.”
Activity
2 minutes: independent work time
5 minutes: partner work time
Monitor for students who use reasoning named in the activity narrative.
Student Facing
Diego and Jada were competing to see who could throw the frisbee further. Diego threw the frisbee 5.10 meters. Jada threw the frisbee 5.01 meters.
Who threw the frisbee further?
Be prepared to explain your thinking.
[IMG]
Tyler and Han were competing to see who could swim the length of the pool faster. Tyler swam the length of the pool in 35.15 seconds. Han swam the length of the pool in 35.30 seconds. Who swam the length of the pool faster? Be prepared to explain your thinking.

Activity Synthesis
Ask previously selected students to share their solutions.
“Both problems are about comparing decimals. How are the problems different?” (The units are different in the two problems. One is meters and the other is seconds. In one problem, the winner has the greater number and in the other problem, the winner has the lesser number.)
