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: Construct linear and exponential functions, including arithmetic and geometric sequences, given a graph, a description of a relationship, or two input-output pairs (include reading these from a table).
problem_activity: Narrative
This warm-up prompts students to carefully analyze and compare features of expressions and equations. When students compare the drawing, expression, and equations, they must use language precisely to describe how each is the same or different (MP6). Listen to the language students use to describe the different characteristics of each expression and equation and connect students' language to the new terms, factor and product, that are introduced in the synthesis.

Activity Synthesis
“How is C different from the other ways we’ve represented equal groups before?” (It has an equal sign. It’s an equation.)
“C is a multiplication
equation
because it contains a multiplication symbol and the equal sign.”
“There are words that help us talk about different parts of the multiplication equation. The
factors
are the numbers being multiplied. The
product
is the result of multiplying some numbers. In the equation in C, the numbers 2 and 5 are the factors. The product is 10. Keep these words in mind today as we work with other multiplication equations.”
