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: Relate counting to addition and subtraction (e.g., by counting on 2 to add 2).
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this Number Talk is to elicit strategies and understandings students have for making a ten when adding within 20. The numbers chosen lend themselves to making a ten to find the value of the sum. These understandings help students develop fluency and will be helpful later in this lesson when students make a ten when adding one-digit numbers and two-digit numbers.

Activity Synthesis
“How could
\(8 + 2\)
help you to find the value of
\(8 + 5\)
?” (I can add 2 to 8 to get to 10, and then I have 3 more to add.
\(10 + 3\)
is 13.)
