few_shots: Example 1:
Problem/activity:
Task
Materials
One 10-frame per pair of students (see example below)
[IMG]
Counters, 10 per pair of students
Decks of number cards 0-5 (with 4 of each number) or two 0-5 dice
Setup
This activity is done in pairs. The students sit side by side with 10-frame and deck of cards or dice. If they have cards, the cards are shuffled and placed face down in front of them.
Action
Player 1 flips a card or rolls the die. They place that many counters on the 10-frame. Player 2 flips a card or rolls the die. They place that many more counters on the 10-frame next to the counters already on the ten frame. The students count the total together.
A recording sheet can be added when the students have been introduced to equations and number sentences. For those students who can handle higher numbers, a deck of 0-10 cards and two 10-frames can be used.
This game can also be played alone.


Standard options: 
A. Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings (Drawings need not show details, but should show the mathematics in the problem. (This applies wherever drawings are mentioned in the Standards.)), sounds (e.g., claps), acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations.
B. For any number from 1 to 9, find the number that makes 10 when added to the given number, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record the answer with a drawing or equation.
C. Decompose numbers less than or equal to 10 into pairs in more than one way, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record each decomposition by a drawing or equation (e.g., 5 = 2 + 3 and 5 = 4 + 1).
D. Solve addition and subtraction word problems, and add and subtract within 10, e.g., by using objects or drawings to represent the problem.
E. Fluently add and subtract within 5.


Your response:
Thought: This task involves representing addition with objects such as number cards and dice.
Answer: A

Example 2:
Problem/activity:
For each pair of numbers, determine if the values are equivalent. Explain your reasoning for each one.
a.
$$-0.25$$
and
$$\frac{1}{-4}$$
b.
$$-\left ( \frac{1}{4} \right )$$
and
$$\frac{-1}{-4}$$
c.
$$\frac{-1}{4}$$
and
$$-\frac{1}{4}$$


Standard options: 
A. Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving the four operations with rational numbers. (Computations with rational numbers extend the rules for manipulating fractions to complex fractions.)
B. Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division and of fractions to multiply and divide rational numbers.
C. Apply and extend previous understandings of addition and subtraction to add and subtract rational numbers; represent addition and subtraction on a horizontal or vertical number line diagram.


Your response:
Thought: This problem involves understanding fractions and division to divide rational numbers, such as 1, -4, 4, and -1. This problem also involves an understanding of multiplication: if p and q are integers, then -(p/q) = (-p)/q = p/(-q).
Answer: B

Example 3:
Problem/activity:
Find the general solution for:
$${\mathrm{cos}\left({\pi\over2}+x\right)=\mathrm{tan}{\pi\over4}}$$


Standard options: 
A. Prove the Pythagorean identity sin^(2)(θ) + cos^(2)(θ) = 1 and use it to find sin(θ), cos(θ),or tan(θ) given sin(θ), cos(θ), or tan(θ) and the quadrant of the angle.
B. Prove the addition and subtraction formulas for sine, cosine, and tangent and use them to solve problems.


Your response:
Thought: 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. Solving this problem does not require use of the Pythagorean identity.
Answer: B

options: 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.

Use trigonometric ratios and the Pythagorean Theorem to solve right triangles in applied problems.

Explain and use the relationship between the sine and cosine of complementary angles.
problem_activity: Activity
During this activity students are asked to compute the perimeter of inscribed regular polygons given only the radius. They will need to figure out that drawing in the altitude will form a right triangle. Drawing this auxiliary segment shows students recognize the important structure of right triangles to calculate missing information (MP7). In this activity students are building towards an equation to approximate the value of
\(\pi\)
which they will complete in the next lesson.
Launch
Provide the definitions of a regular polygon (a polygon where all of the sides are congruent and all the angles are congruent), pentagon (5-sided polygon), and decagon (10-sided polygon) as needed.
Representation: Develop Language and Symbols.
Create a display of important terms and vocabulary. During the launch, take time to review terms that students will need to access for this activity. Invite students to suggest language or diagrams to include that will support their understanding of: regular polygons, pentagons, and decagons. Include definitions as well as diagrams for students to refer to throughout the lesson.
Supports accessibility for: Conceptual processing; Language

Are you ready for more?
Here is a diagram of a square inscribed in a circle and another circle inscribed in the same square.

How much shorter is the perimeter of the small circle than the perimeter of the large circle?
If the square was replaced with a regular polygon with more sides, would your previous answer be larger, smaller, or the same? Explain or show your reasoning.

Anticipated Misconceptions
If students are spending too long attempting to draw the pentagon or decagon, provide them with a circle that has 10 equally spaced points.
If students are stuck after sketching the diagram ask them what helpful auxiliary lines they could draw. (Connect the center to the other vertices to make triangles. The altitude would create right triangles so I can use trigonometry.)
[IMG]
Activity Synthesis
Invite students to share their strategies. Focus on students who repeated the same strategy for multiple questions.
Use the applet to demonstrate what happens with the perimeter of the inscribed polygon as the number of sides increases.
Ask students what they noticed. Connect the generalizations they make with the noticing and wondering they did in the warm-up. If not mentioned by students, ask students what the circumference of the circle is. (
\(2\pi\)
) Build anticipation for calculating the value of
\(\pi\)
in the next lesson.
If students are not using workbooks tell them to be extra careful to put this work in a safe place because they will use it in the next lesson.
Writing, Listening, Conversing: MLR1 Stronger and Clearer Each Time.
Use this routine to help students improve their writing, by providing them with multiple opportunities to clarify their explanations through conversation. Give students time to meet with 2–3 partners to share and get feedback on their work. Display prompts for feedback that students can use to help their partner strengthen and clarify their ideas. For example, "Your explanation tells me . . .", "Can you say more about why you . . . ?", and "A detail (or word) you could add is _____, because . . . ." Give students with 3–4 minutes to revise their initial draft based on feedback from their peers.
Design Principle(s): Optimize output (for explanation); Cultivate conversation
