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.

HS_0
standard_description: Add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals to hundredths, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method and explain the reasoning used.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to understand that the standard algorithm for subtraction can be used with decimals. Students first find the value of a difference of decimals using a strategy that makes sense to them and then see calculations organized using the standard algorithm. When students calculate using a strategy of their choice, they may or may not show decomposition of a whole into 10 tenths. The standard algorithm explicitly shows this decomposition.
When students share their explanation of Han's calculations with a partner and revise their work after receiving feedback they critique the reasoning of others and improve their arguments (MP3).

2-3 minutes: independent work time
“How is the standard algorithm for subtraction the same as the standard algorithm for addition?” (I work from right to left. I line up all of the place values and make sure the digits I am subtracting have the same place value.)
“How is the standard algorithm for subtraction different than the standard algorithm for addition?” (Sometimes I need to decompose a unit. I need to decompose a whole into 10 tenths. With addition, I sometimes need to compose a new unit.)
