few_shots: Example 1:
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

Example 2:
Problem/activity:
Task
Solve the quadratic equation
$$ x^2 = (2x - 9)^2 $$
using as many different methods as possible.


Standard options: 
A. Solve linear equations and inequalities in one variable, including equations with coefficients represented by letters.
B. Solve quadratic equations in one variable.


Your response:
Thought: This task shows one quadratic equation with one variable, x.
Answer: B

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 $P$.


Standard options: 
A. 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.
B. Construct an equilateral triangle, a square, and a regular hexagon inscribed in a circle.


Your response:
Thought: 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.
Answer: A

problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this Choral Count is to invite students to practice counting by
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
and notice patterns in the count. These understandings help students develop fluency and will be helpful later in this lesson when students recognize and generate equivalent fractions. In the synthesis, students have the opportunity to notice that
\(\frac{2}{2}\)
and
\(\frac{4}{4}\)
are both equal to 1 whole.
Required Preparation
Have recording of choral count by one-fourth available, from a previous lesson.
Launch
“Count by
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
, starting at
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
.”
Record as students count. Record 2 fractions in each row, then start a new row. There will be 4 rows.
Stop counting and recording at
\(\frac{8}{2}\)
.
Activity
“What patterns do you see?”
1–2 minutes: quiet think time
Record responses.

Activity Synthesis
Display count by
\(\frac{1}{4}\)
from the previous lesson. There should be 4 rows and 4 fractions in each row with the count ending at
\(\frac{16}{4}\)
.
“How are these two counts the same? How are they different?” (The denominator stays the same in both counts—4 for the last count, and 2 for today’s count. The numerators change in the same way because they both count by one. They start a new line at
\(\frac{2}{2}\)
and
\(\frac{4}{4}\)
, which are both whole numbers.)
Consider asking:
“Who can restate the pattern in different words?”
“Does anyone want to add an observation as to why that pattern is happening here?”
“Do you agree or disagree? Why?”
