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: Understand the concept of a unit rate a/b associated with a ratio a:b with b ≠0, and use rate language in the context of a ratio relationship. For example, “This recipe has a ratio of 3 cups of flour to 4 cups of sugar, so there is 3/4 cup of flour for each cup of sugar.” “We paid $75 for 15 hamburgers, which is a rate of $5 per hamburger.” (Expectations for unit rates in this grade are limited to non-complex fractions.)
problem_activity: Optional activity
In this activity, students calculate benchmark percentages. Students are likely to calculate the answers quickly They are to spend the majority of the task time discussing how they reason about the questions.
Launch
Give students quiet think time to complete the activity and then time to share their explanation with a partner.
Representation: Internalize Comprehension.
Provide appropriate reading accommodations and supports to ensure students access to written directions, word problems and other text-based content.
Supports accessibility for: Language; Conceptual processing
Student Facing
Match the percentage that describes the relationship between each pair of numbers. One percentage will be left over. Be prepared to explain your reasoning.
7 is what percentage of 14?
5 is what percentage of 20?
3 is what percentage of 30?
6 is what percentage of 8?
20 is what percentage of 5?
4%
10%
25%
50%
75%
400%

Anticipated Misconceptions
Because 5 goes into 20 four times, students may answer that 5 is 4% of 20. If this happens, explain that 5 is really
\(\frac14\)
of 20 and ask them what percentage represents one quarter.
Activity Synthesis
Invite students to share their mental math strategies. If needed, consider illustrating the relationship between of
\(B\)
and
\(C\)
(where
\(A\%\)
of
\(B\)
is
\(C\)
) using tape diagrams or double number line diagrams to help students visualize the association between the benchmark percentages and fractions.
