Example 1:
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.

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: 
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: Write an inequality of the form x > c or x < c to represent a constraint or condition in a real-world or mathematical problem. Recognize that inequalities of the form x > c or x < c have infinitely many solutions; represent solutions of such inequalities on number line diagrams.

Look at the title and image of the Newsweek article,
More Than Half of Medical Advice on 'Dr. Oz' Lacks Proof or Contradicts Best Available Science: Study
.
According to this article, a research team looked at 80 pieces of medical advice from
The Dr. Oz Show
and found no evidence to support 43 of these recommendations.
a.   Do you agree or disagree with the claim in the headline based on this information? Why or why not?
b.   Determine whether the following fractions are greater or less than
$$\frac12$$
.
$$\frac{5}{12}$$
$$\frac35$$
Problem 2
a.   Ishmael says that he knows
$$\frac{5}{12}$$
is less than
$$\frac35$$
because
$$\frac{5}{12}$$
is less than
$$\frac12 $$
and
$$\frac35$$
is more than
$$\frac12$$
, so
$$\frac{5}{12}$$
must be less than
$$\frac35$$
. Explain why Ishmael’s reasoning is correct using words or pictures.
b.   Use Ishmael’s strategy to compare the following pairs of fractions. Record your answer with
$$\lt$$
,
$$\gt$$
, or
$$=$$
.
$${{4\over10}}$$
and
$${{5\over8}}$$
$${{7\over12}}$$
and
$${{4\over9}}$$
$${{1\over3}}$$
and
$${{4\over7}}$$
Problem 3
a.   Now Joslyn is comparing
$$\frac46$$
and
$$\frac58$$
. She says that she knows
$$\frac46$$
is more than
$$\frac58$$
because
$$\frac46$$
is
$$\frac16$$
more than
$$\frac12$$
and
$$\frac58$$
is
$$\frac18$$
more than
$$\frac12$$
and
$$\frac16$$
is more than
$$\frac18$$
. Explain why Jocelyn’s reasoning is correct using words or pictures.
b.   Use any strategy to compare the following pairs of fractions. Record your answer with
$$\lt$$
,
$$\gt$$
, or
$$=$$
.
$$\frac{5}{12}$$
and
$${{4\over10}}$$
$${{3\over5}}$$
and
$${{5\over9}}$$
$${{1\over3}}$$
and
$${{3\over7}}$$
