Example 1:
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.

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: 
Make formal geometric constructions with a variety of tools and methods (compass and straightedge, string, reflective devices, paper folding, dynamic geometric software, etc.). Copying a segment; copying an angle; bisecting a segment; bisecting an angle; constructing perpendicular lines, including the perpendicular bisector of a line segment; and constructing a line parallel to a given line through a point not on the line.

Answer: 
Yes. This task asks students to draw a ray that bisects an angle. The act of drawing circles and rays may involve compass and straightedge or dynamic geometric software.

problem_activity: Problem 1
Sarita has a fish tank in the shape of a rectangular prism. The bottom of the fish tank measures
$${10}$$
inches by
$$8$$
inches. Sarita wants to add some sand to cover the bottom of the tank, and she uses the formula
$${ V=l × w × h}$$
to determine the volume of sand she needs.
a.   If the height of the sand measures
$$2$$
inches, what is the volume of sand needed?
b.   If the height of the sand measures
$${3.5}$$
inches, what is the volume of sand needed?
c.   Sarita cannot decide how high she wants the sand to be in the tank. What expression can she use to represent the volume of sand needed for
any
height of sand?
Problem 2
In each example, write an expression to represent the quantity.
a.   Thomas is
$$x$$
years old.
His sister is
$$5$$
years older. How old is his sister?
His dog is
$$3$$
years younger. How old is his dog?
His cousin is
$${3\over4}$$
his age. How old is his cousin?
His friend is
$$y$$
years younger. How old is his friend?
b.   Reina has
$$5$$
more quarters than dimes.
She has
$$8$$
dimes. How many quarters does she have?
She has
$$15$$
quarters. How many dimes does she have?
She has
$$d$$
dimes. How many quarters does she have?
She has
$$q$$
quarters. How many dimes does she have?
Problem 3
a.   A numeric expression like
$${5+(8+2)^2}$$
has one and only one value. What is it?
b.   Consider the expression
$${ {5+(x+2)^2}}$$
. What are some values it can have? Make sure you organize your work so anyone can tell which value for the expression goes with which
$$x$$
value.
c.   How many different values can an algebraic expression like
$${5+(x+2)^2}$$
have?
