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.

Below is a picture of a triangle on a coordinate grid:
[IMG]
Draw the reflection of $\triangle ABC$ over the line $x = -2$. Label
the image of $A$ as $A^\prime$, the image of $B$ as  $B^\prime$ and
the image of $C$ as $C^\prime$.
Draw the reflection of $\triangle A^{\prime}B^{\prime}C^\prime$ over the line $x = 2$. Label
the image of $A^\prime $ as $A^{\prime \prime}$, the image of $B^\prime$ as  $B^{\prime \prime}$ and
the image of $C^\prime$ as $C^{\prime \prime}$.
What single rigid transformation of the plane will map $\triangle ABC$ to
$\triangle A^{\prime \prime}B^{\prime \prime}C^{\prime \prime}$?  Explain.
