Problem/activity:
Find the general solution for:
$${\mathrm{cos}\left({\pi\over2}+x\right)=\mathrm{tan}{\pi\over4}}$$


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.

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.

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

standard_description: Use the structure of an expression to identify ways to rewrite it. For example, see x^(4) – y^(4 )as (x^(2))^(2 )– (y^(2))^(2), thus recognizing it as a difference of squares that can be factored as (x^(2 )– y^(2))(x^(2 )+ y^(2)).
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is to connect the time shown on a digital clock with an analog clock with only the hour hand displayed. Students use the cards created in the first activity to write times in the digital format to represent each clock.
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Materials from a previous activity
Required Preparation
Each student needs the clock cards they created in the previous activity.
Launch
Display image in student workbook.
“These clocks both show the same time. What time do they show? How do you know?” (They show 1 o’clock. The arrow is pointing to the 1. There is a 1 on the left of the written time.)
30 seconds: quiet think time

Activity
“On the cards you made in the first activity, write the times under each clock.”
5 minutes: independent work time

Activity Synthesis
Display the card that shows 5 o’clock.
“Find your card that matches this card. What time did you write under this clock? How did you know that it shows 5:00?”
“Find the card that shows 4 o’clock. How did you know that it shows 4:00? How did you write the time?” (The arrow is pointing to the 4. 4:00)
Repeat with other cards as time permits.
