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: Use geometric descriptions of rigid motions to transform figures and to predict the effect of a given rigid motion on a given figure; given two figures, use the definition of congruence in terms of rigid motions to decide if they are congruent.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to develop mathematical questions about their school community. This walk could also take place on the playground or in the local community.
MLR8 Discussion Supports.
Synthesis: As students share their questions, include a drawing or annotation to clarify any questions about context. Invite students to notice common language used in mathematical questions such as: how many, how much, which, more than, taller than, etc.
Advances: Speaking, Representing

Launch
Give each student a clipboard with a blank piece of paper.
“We’re going to take another walk around the school. Your job is to think of math questions that you would like to answer about our school. Use your recording sheet to help you remember what questions you have.”
