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.

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

standard_description: Define appropriate quantities for the purpose of descriptive modeling.
problem_activity: Warm-up
The purpose of this warm-up is for students to use their intuition to think about the upcoming unit on probability. In particular, students guess what type of fish might be caught after knowing the results of the previous 10 fish caught. Although no answer can be given with absolute certainty, the results being heavily skewed towards one type of fish should lead students to the idea that it is more likely to be the most commonly caught fish will be caught again.
Launch
It may be helpful to explain that there are many types of fish that are caught while fishing for fun or sport. The two types listed in this warm-up, bluegill and yellow perch, are typically found in lakes and caught with the same type of bait. Both of these types of fish are suitable for eating after being caught or release back into the water.
Student Facing
Andre and his dad have been fishing for 2 hours. In that time, they have caught 9 bluegills and 1 yellow perch.
The next time Andre gets a bite, what kind of fish do you think it will be? Explain your reasoning.

Activity Synthesis
The purpose of the discussion is to show students that no single answer can be certain for this problem, but previous results can help inform the likelihood of future outcomes.
Poll the class regarding the type of fish they think will be caught next. Begin by asking for students who think the next fish caught will be a bluegill followed by students who think the next fish caught will be a yellow perch followed by students who think that another type of fish will be caught (or that they will not catch another fish). Display the results from the poll for all to see. Following the poll, ask at least one student representing each group with more than 1 vote for their reasoning. Tell students that we cannot know for certain what the next type of fish will be, but based on the results we have available, it is most likely that a bluegill will be caught next.
