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: Compare two fractions with different numerators and different denominators, e.g., by creating common denominators or numerators, or by comparing to a benchmark fraction such as 1/2. Recognize that comparisons are valid only when the two fractions refer to the same whole. Record the results of comparisons with symbols >, =, or <, and justify the conclusions, e.g., by using a visual fraction model.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 100.
problem_activity: Narrative
This warm-up prompts students to visualize the idea of arranging angles around a point and adding their measurements as more pieces are added. The angles are familiar angles:
\(90^\circ\)
,
\(180^\circ\)
, and
\(270^\circ\)
. Students previously arrived at these benchmarks by decomposing a full turn or
\(360^\circ\)
. Here, they compose a full turn from
\(90^\circ\)
angles.
The work here familiarizes students with the context and mathematics that might be involved later in the lesson. In the subsequent activities, students will compose and decompose paper cutouts of angles to determine angle measurements.

Activity Synthesis
“What angles do you think are the measurement of each angle?” (They look like
\(90^\circ\)
,
\(180^\circ\)
, and
\(270^\circ\)
angles.)
“How do you know?” (If the paper is a rectangle, then the corner pieces are right angles or
\(90^\circ\)
each. Two of the corner pieces would be
\(90+90\)
. Three pieces would be
\(90+ 90+90\)
.)
“What angle would we get if we add the last corner piece?” (
\(360^\circ\)
)
