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.

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

standard_description: Identify shapes as two-dimensional (lying in a plane, “flat”) or three-dimensional (“solid”).
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to identify examples of circles and triangles. The geometric terms
circle
and
triangle
are formally introduced, though some students may already be familiar with the terms and may have heard or used them in previous lessons. This activity exposes students to a wider variety of circles and triangles than they may have seen previously, which encourages students to expand their concepts of the shapes. Students may incorrectly identify some shapes as triangles or circles, particularly distactors, such as a shape that looks like a triangle but has 4 sides. These shapes can be discussion points and are expected throughout kindergarten. Students distinguish between defining and non-defining attributes of shapes in grade 1.
MLR8 Discussion Supports.
To support the transfer of new vocabulary to long term memory, invite students to chorally repeat these words in unison 1–2 times: circles, triangles.
Advances: Listening, Speaking
Representation: Access for Perception.
Synthesis: Students might need extra support determining that the oval and the pizza slice shapes are not circles or triangles. Hold up a triangle and circle next to the shapes to visually show that the oval and pizza slice shapes do not match the triangle and circle.
Supports accessibility for: Visual-Spatial Processing
