Concept/skill: 
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.

Problem/activity:
Find the general solution for:
$${\mathrm{cos}\left({\pi\over2}+x\right)=\mathrm{tan}{\pi\over4}}$$


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.

Now, determine whether the following problem or activity can enable students to understand the concepts or skills in the provided description.

standard_description: Write simple expressions that record calculations with numbers, and interpret numerical expressions without evaluating them. For example, express the calculation “add 8 and 7, then multiply by 2” as 2 × (8 + 7). Recognize that 3 × (18932 + 921) is three times as large as 18932 + 921, without having to calculate the indicated sum or product.
problem_activity: Narrative
This activity develops students’ understanding of the vertical method of recording partial quotients and their ability to use it to perform division. One of the quotients here involves a remainder, prompting students to interpret it. Students are reminded that the term “remainder” is used to describe “leftovers” when dividing.

Activity
3 minutes: independent work time on the first 2 problems.
Pause after problem 2 to discuss students’ responses.
Display the different ways that students decompose 389 to divide it by 7.
“Most other calculations we’ve seen so far end with a 0, but this one ends with a 4. What does the 4 tell us?” (We cannot make a group of 7 with 4 leftover. 389 is not a multiple of 7, and there are leftovers.)
“When we divide and end up with leftovers we call them remainders, because they represent what is remaining after we divide into equal groups.”
Display:
\(389 = 7 \times 55 + 4\)
“How does this equation show that
\(389 \div 7\)
has a remainder?” (It shows that 389 is not a multiple of 7. It also shows that 7 and 55 make a factor pair for 385, and 389 is 4 more than that.)
3 minutes: independent work time on the last 2 problems.
As students work on the last two problems monitor for students who:
start with the largest multiple of 3 and 10 within 702 that they can think of to decompose the dividend (690, 600).
use the fewest steps to find the quotient.

Activity Synthesis
Display responses that show variation in how students decomposed 702 in problem 3.
Highlight that there are countless ways of using partial quotients to divide a number, but it may be more efficient to divide larger groups than smaller groups (for example, removing 350 once, as opposed to removing 70 five times. Removing smaller groups is just as valid, however.)
To help students see the relationship between corresponding partial products and partial quotients, consider illustrating them visually. Some examples:
