Example 1:
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.

Example 2:
Concept/skill: 
Solve quadratic equations in one variable.

Problem/activity:
Task
Solve the quadratic equation
$$ x^2 = (2x - 9)^2 $$
using as many different methods as possible.


Answer: 
Yes. This task shows one quadratic equation with one variable, x.

Example 3:
Concept/skill: 
Construct a tangent line from a point outside a given circle to the circle.

Problem/activity:
Task
Suppose $A$ is an angle with vertex $P$, as pictured below:
[IMG]
Draw a circle with center $P$ and with  radius $r \gt 0$.  Explain why the circle
meets each ray of angle $A$ in a single point.  Label these points $Q$ and $R$ respectively.
Draw circles with centers $Q$ and $R$ respectively and radius $r$.  These circles meet at $P$ and a second point to be labelled $B$.
Show that ray $\overrightarrow{PB}$  bisects angle $P$.


Answer: 
No. This task does not involve drawing lines that are tangent to circles. The only line that may be drawn is the ray between points P and B.

standard_description: Write and evaluate numerical expressions involving whole-number exponents.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to use given information to ask and answer different questions. Students may ask Put Together or Compare problems using the given information. A representation of the information is also provided. This representation is a precursor to the tape diagrams students will use to represent and solve Compare problems in grade 2.
When students recognize the mathematical features of things in the real world and ask questions that arise from a presented situation, they model with mathematics (MP4).
MLR2 Collect and Display.
Circulate, listen for and collect the language students use as they create questions to match each task statement. On a visible display, record comparison words and phrases such as: more than, less than, how many fewer, and how many more. Invite students to borrow language from the display as needed, and update it throughout the lesson.
