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: 
Understand that the graph of an equation in two variables is the set of all its solutions plotted in the coordinate plane, often forming a curve (which could be a line).

Answer: 
No. This task does not involve an equation in two variables. There is only 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: Use special triangles to determine geometrically the values of sine, cosine, tangent for π/3, π/4 and π/6, and use the unit circle to express the values of sine, cosines, and tangent for π–x, π+x, and 2π–x in terms of their values for x, where x is any real number.
problem_activity: Problem 1
At the store, you see oranges on sale at 1 pound for $3. At a different store, your brother sees oranges on sale at 3 pounds for $8.
Do the oranges cost the same at both stores? Which store offers the better deal? Justify your answer.
Problem 2
Callie biked 12 miles in 3 hours. Carter biked 10 miles in 2 hours.
Represent each person's trip with a double number line. Explain how you can see that they are not going the same speed.
Problem 3
Density is the relationship between the mass of an object and its volume, or amount of space it takes up. A scientist finds a rock and determines its mass to be 18 grams and its volume to be 4 cm
$$^{3}$$
. Another rock is found with a mass of 63 grams and a volume of 14 cm
$$^{3}$$
.
Draw two double number lines to compare the two rocks. Do the rocks have equivalent ratios of mass and volume? Do they have the same density?
