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: 
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: 
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: Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators (including mixed numbers) by replacing given fractions with equivalent fractions in such a way as to produce an equivalent sum or difference of fractions with like denominators. For example, 2/3 + 5/4 = 8/12 + 15/12 = 23/12. (In general, a/b + c/d = (ad + bc)/bd.)
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to reason about adding fractions with unlike denominators to add two equations to a partially-completed True or False activity. If there is time, students can facilitate their True or False with another group.
Launch
Groups of 2 or 4
“Now you will work with your group to complete a True or False activity. This activity has two equations missing. Decide on equations that would complete the True or False and write them on the blank lines.”
Activity
10 minutes: small-group work time
As students work, monitor for groups who discuss and design equations based on some of the following:
They create equations where the fractions on one side of the equation have unlike denominators and the other side consists of fractions with like denominators.
They create an equation where the common denominator is appropriate, but the corresponding fraction used is not equivalent.
They create an equation that is similar to a previous equation.
They create an equation where a similar strategy can be used to determine if it’s true.
Student Facing
Write two equations to complete the True or False task. Be prepared to share your reasoning for the equations.
\(\frac{8}{14}+\frac{3}{7}=\frac{4}{7}+\frac{3}{7}\)

Activity Synthesis
Choose small groups to share that had different reasons for their equations.
Ask students to share their completed True or False and ask the class to share reasons for the equations.
As each group shares, continually ask others in the class if they agree or disagree and the reasons why.
