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: 
Understand that the graph of an equation in two variables is the set of all its solutions plotted in the coordinate plane, often forming a curve (which could be a line).

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


Answer: 
No. This task does not involve an equation in two variables. There is only one variable, x.

Example 3:
Concept/skill: 
Make formal geometric constructions with a variety of tools and methods (compass and straightedge, string, reflective devices, paper folding, dynamic geometric software, etc.). Copying a segment; copying an angle; bisecting a segment; bisecting an angle; constructing perpendicular lines, including the perpendicular bisector of a line segment; and constructing a line parallel to a given line through a point not on the line.

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: 
Yes. This task asks students to draw a ray that bisects an angle. The act of drawing circles and rays may involve compass and straightedge or dynamic geometric software.

standard_description: Understand subtraction as an unknown-addend problem. For example, subtract 10 – 8 by finding the number that makes 10 when added to 8.
problem_activity: Problem 1
a.   Estimate whether the following sums will be more or less than 1.
i.
$${{3\over4}+{2\over4}}$$
ii.
$${{5\over6}+{3\over6}}$$
b.   Solve for the actual sums in Part (a) above.
Problem 2
Cary computes
$$\frac{9}{10} + \frac4{10}$$
using a different strategy. Here is her reasoning:
[IMG]
“First I broke
$$\frac4{10}$$
into
$$\frac1{10}$$
and
$$\frac3{10}$$
. Then I added
$$\frac9{10}$$
and
$$\frac1{10}$$
to get to 1, then added the other
$$\frac3{10}$$
to get
$$1\frac3{10}$$
.
So
$$\frac{9}{10} + \frac4{10} = 1\frac3{10}$$
."
a.   Is Cary’s calculation correct? Explain.
b.   Will Cary’s strategy always work? If not, give an example of a calculation for which Cary can’t use this strategy.
c.   Use Cary’s strategy to find
$$\frac45+\frac35$$
.
Problem 3
a.   Estimate whether the following differences will be more or less than 1.
i.
$${1{1\over3}-{2\over3}}$$
ii.
$${1{3\over8}-{5\over8}}$$
b.   Solve for the actual differences in Part (a) above.
Problem 4
Corrado computes
$$1\frac15 - \frac25$$
using a different strategy. Here is his reasoning:
[IMG]
“First I broke
$$\frac25$$
into
$$\frac15$$
and
$$\frac15$$
. Then I subtracted
$$\frac15$$
from
$$1\frac15$$
to get to 1, then subtracted the other
$$\frac15$$
to get
$$\frac45$$
.
So
$$1\frac15 - \frac25 = \frac45$$
."
a.   Is Corrado’s calculation correct? Explain.
b.   Will Corrado’s strategy always work? If not, give an example of a calculation for which Corrado can’t use this strategy.
c.   Use Corrado’s strategy to find
$$1\frac2{12}-\frac5{12}$$
.
