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: 
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.

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

problem_activity: Task
Below is a table of diameters of different denominations of United States
Coins:
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["centered", "narrow"]}, "tbody": [{"tr": [{"th": [{"_value": "Denomination"}, {"_value": "Diameter"}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "Dime"}, {"_value": "$17.9$ mm"}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "Nickel"}, {"_value": "$21.2$ mm"}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "Quarter"}, {"_value": "$24.3$ mm"}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "Half Dollar"}, {"_value": "$30.6$ mm"}]}]}]}]}
If we place nickels around a central dime, as in the picture below, there is room
for five nickels with extra space but not enough room for a sixth nickel:
[IMG]
How many dimes fit around a central dime?  What about around a
central nickel, quarter, or half dollar?  Do the dimes fit snugly or is there
extra space?
How many half dollars fit around a central dime?  What about around
a central nickel, quarter, or half dollar?  Do the half dollars fit snugly or
is there extra room?
Extending the work in (a) and (b) above, for positive numbers $r$ and $s$
how many circles of radius $s$ will fit around a central circle of radius $r$?


aligns: yes
