Example:
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: Represent whole numbers as lengths from 0 on a number line diagram with equally spaced points corresponding to the numbers 0, 1, 2, ..., and represent whole-number sums and differences within 100 on a number line diagram.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this warm-up is to elicit the idea that number lines and tape diagrams can be used to represent the same relationships between numbers, which will be useful when students use tape diagrams and number lines in a later activity to interpret and solve story problems. While students may notice and wonder many things about these representations, the important discussion points are the way both representations show quantities and how they could be used to represent addition.

Activity Synthesis
“What equation do you think best matches these diagrams?” (
\(5+4=9\)
)
“Where do we see the 5 in both diagrams?” (the 5 on the number line is the distance from 0 to the point at 5)
“Where do you see the 4 in both diagrams?” (the 4 on the number line is the 4 spaces that were moved to the right)
