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.

Now, assess whether the following problem or activity is 'aligned' with the given Common Core standard in Mathematics.

“Today you will choose from centers we have already learned. One of the choices is to play Target Numbers in a new way. Just like last time, your target number is 95. You will roll two cubes to get your starting number. Then, on each turn, roll three cubes and choose one of the numbers to represent the tens and another number to represent the ones. Add the new number you made to your starting number and record your equation. Continue playing for six rounds to see who gets closest to 95 without going over.”
Display the center choices in the student book.
