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.

standard_description: Know precise definitions of angle, circle, perpendicular line, parallel line, and line segment, based on the undefined notions of point, line, distance along a line, and distance around a circular arc.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this warm-up is for students to consider concepts of number in a familiar context. Students may use the structure of the chart and the 5-frames to determine how many students made each choice (MP7). Students have an opportunity to hear and practice the count sequence. Adjust the context and choose a different question with 3 possible responses to better reflect students’ interests and experiences as needed.
MLR8 Discussion Supports.
Display an image or drawing of each type of pet above the corresponding 5-frame. Invite students to respond to the question using the sentence frame, “My favorite pet is a . . .”
Advances: Speaking, Representing.
