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: Understand a fraction a/b with a > 1 as a sum of fractions 1/b.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 100.
problem_activity: Problem 1
Mrs. Fowler knew that the perimeter of the soccer field was
$${{1\over6}}$$
mile. She walked
$$2{{{1\over6}}}$$
miles in total. How many times did she walk around the field? Show or explain your work.
Problem 2
Convert the following mixed numbers to fractions greater than 1. Show or explain your work.
a.
$${3{1\over2}}$$
b.
$${4{1\over4}}$$
c.
$${5{3\over5}}$$
Problem 3
Ben wrote the mixed number
$$7\frac{1}{3}$$
as a fraction. Here is his work:
| $$7\frac{1}{3}= 7 + \frac{1}{3}$$ | (Step 1) |
|-----------------------------------|----------|
|   $$=\frac{7}{1}+\frac{1}{3}$$    | (Step 2) |
|   $$=\frac{21}{3}+\frac{1}{3}$$   | (Step 3) |
|         $${={22\over3}}$$         | (Step 4) |
Explain what Ben did in each step.
