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: Fluently add, subtract, multiply, and divide multi-digit decimals using the standard algorithm for each operation.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this warm-up is to elicit the idea that there are different ways to calculate a product, using the standard algorithm, which will be useful when students find products of a 3-digit number and a 2-digit number in a way that makes sense to them.

Activity Synthesis
“Why do you think the results of the two calculations are the same?” (The factors are the same, just in a different order. The order of the factors does not change the result of multiplication.)
"Which way would you prefer to find the value of
\(417 \times 28\)
?" (I like the one with two partial products as there is less adding up to do.)
"Today you will get to choose how to find products of a 3-digit number and a 2-digit number.
