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: Find the volume of a right rectangular prism with fractional edge lengths by packing it with unit cubes of the appropriate unit fraction edge lengths, and show that the volume is the same as would be found by multiplying the edge lengths of the prism. Apply the formulas V = l w h and V = b h to find volumes of right rectangular prisms with fractional edge lengths in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.
problem_activity: Problem 1
A small box measures 5 in. across, 8 in. deep, and 6 in. tall. A book that measures 5
$$\times$$
8
$$\times$$
1 in. fits perfectly into the bottom of the box.
[IMG]
a.   What is the volume of one book? How many books will fit into the box? What is the volume of all of the books that will fit into the box?
b.   What is the volume of the box? How is this related to the volume of one book?
c.   A medium box measures 12 inches tall. A different book with dimensions 8
$$\times$$
10
$$\times$$
1 in. fits perfectly into the bottom of the medium box. What is the volume of the medium box?
Problem 2
The same rectangular prism is positioned in two different ways, as shown below. For each prism, use the rectangular face that the prism is “sitting on” as the base of the prism.
[IMG]
For each prism, find the area of the base and multiply by the height. Show that this is the same volume as when all three dimensions are multiplied together.
Problem 3
A rectangular prism has a base area of
$${4{3\over8}}$$
inches
$${^2}$$
, a width of
$$1 \frac{1}{4}$$
inches, and a height of
$${6 {1\over2}}$$
inches. Kirby writes the equation
$$V=4\frac{3}{8}\times1\frac{1}{4}\times6\frac{1}{2}$$
to represent the volume of the prism.
Do you agree with Kirby's equation? Explain and find the volume of the prism.
