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 that a two-dimensional figure is congruent to another if the second can be obtained from the first by a sequence of rotations, reflections, and translations; given two congruent figures, describe a sequence that exhibits the congruence between them.
problem_activity: Problem 1
For the four scatter plots, answer the following questions:
Does there appear to be a relationship between
$$x$$
and
$$y$$
?
If there is a relationship, does it appear to be linear?
If the relationship appears to be linear, is it a positive or negative linear relationship?
If applicable, circle the correct words in this sentence: There is a (positive/negative) association between
$$x$$
and
$$y$$
because as
$$x$$
increases, then
$$y$$
tends to (increase/decrease).

Problem 2
Pablo is curious if there is a relationship between the amount of time high school students spend on social media and their academic achievement. To explore this, he conducts a survey of 30 randomly selected students from his school, and asks them how many minutes they spent on social media yesterday and what their most recent grade point average (GPA) was. Pablo summarized his data in the scatter plot below.
[IMG]
a.   Describe the relationship between the amount of time spent on social media and GPA.
b.   Are there any deviations from the pattern? Explain what you see.
c.   Are there any clusters of data? What do they mean in context?
