Example:
Concept/skill: 
Prove the addition and subtraction formulas for sine, cosine, and tangent and use them to solve problems.

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


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.

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

standard_description: Relate counting to addition and subtraction (e.g., by counting on 2 to add 2).
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this warm-up is for students to subitize or use grouping strategies to describe the number of dots they see and how they see them. Students have an opportunity to notice and make use of structure (MP7) because each dot image builds from the previous one, and students can think about adding on one or rearranging the dots rather than counting.

Activity Synthesis
“What helped you see how many dots there were each time?” (In the second image I saw 3 and 1 more and I know that is 4. In the last one I saw 2 and 2.)
