Example 1:
Problem/activity:
Find the general solution for:
$${\mathrm{cos}\left({\pi\over2}+x\right)=\mathrm{tan}{\pi\over4}}$$


Concept/skill: 
Prove the addition and subtraction formulas for sine, cosine, and tangent and use them to solve problems.

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:
Problem/activity:
Task
Solve the quadratic equation
$$ x^2 = (2x - 9)^2 $$
using as many different methods as possible.


Concept/skill: 
Solve quadratic equations in one variable.

Answer: 
Yes. This task shows one quadratic equation with one variable, x.

Example 3:
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 $P$.


Concept/skill: 
Construct a tangent line from a point outside a given circle to the circle.

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.

standard_description: Express the length of an object as a whole number of length units, by laying multiple copies of a shorter object (the length unit) end to end; understand that the length measurement of an object is the number of same-size length units that span it with no gaps or overlaps. Limit to contexts where the object being measured is spanned by a whole number of length units with no gaps or overlaps.
problem_activity: Task
Suppose $\triangle ABC$ and $\triangle DEF$ share three corresponding congruent sides as pictured below:
[IMG]
Show that $\triangle ABC$ is congruent ot $\triangle DEF$ as follows:
Apply a translation to move $\triangle ABC$ to $\triangle A^\prime B^\prime C^\prime$ with $A^\prime = D$.
Apply a rotation to move $\triangle A^\prime B^\prime C^\prime$ to $A^{\prime \prime}B^{\prime \prime}C^{\prime \prime}$ with $A^{\prime \prime} = D$ and $B^{\prime \prime} = E$.
Explain why $\left|A^{\prime \prime}C^{\prime \prime}\right| = \left|DF\right|$ and conclude that $\overleftrightarrow{DE}$ is the perpendicular bisector of $\overline{C^{\prime \prime}F}$.
Show that reflection over $\overleftrightarrow{DE}$ maps $F$ to $C^{\prime \prime}$ and conclude that $\triangle ABC$ is congruent to $\triangle DEF$.
