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


Topic options: 
A. Geometry: students learn to classify geometric figures by their properties, and understand and compare the relationships between them. Students develop and use formulas to compute lengths, areas, and volumes, and they use transformations to generate new shapes and compare existing ones. Geometry can be studied with and without coordinates.
B. Functions: students learn to define, use, and evaluate functions to model relationships between quantities.
C. Number & Operations in Base Ten: students learn to work with the base-ten system and build place value understanding.
D. Modeling: students learn to choose and use appropriate mathematics and statistics to analyze real-world empirical situations, improve decisions, and report on their conclusions and the reasoning behind them.
E. Ratios & Proportional Relationships: students learn to recognize, describe, represent, and reason with ratios, rates, proportional relationships, and percent.
F. Operations & Algebra: students learn to solve problems using algebraic thinking and operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. They may learn to identify and explain arithmetic patterns, evaluate or manipulate numerical expressions, and reason with equations and inequalities.
G. Number Systems and Quantity: students learn to understand the complex number system and reason quantitatively.
H. Statistics & Probability: students learn to analyze and produce data distributions, and build understanding of univariate and bivariate data. They learn to interpret data, make statistical inferences, justify conclusions, understand rules of probability, and use probability to make decisions.
I. Measurement & Data: students learn to work with data and measure attributes such as time, money, length, area, and volume. They may learn to compare measurements to operations and convert between different units of measure.
J. Counting & Cardinality: students learn to know number names and the count sequence, count to tell the number of objects, and compare numbers.
K. Number & Operations - Fractions: students learn to understand fractions as numbers and may work with them using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.


Your response:
Thought: This problem pertains to functions because it asks students to find the general solution to a trigonometric function.

problem_activity: Activity
This activity is similar to what students did in the previous activity; however, here the conditions given are 2 angles and 1 side.
Launch
Keep students in the same groups. Tell students that this activity is similar to the previous one, and they should pay close attention to what they find different here. Provide access to geometry toolkits. Give students 2–3 minutes of quiet work time followed by time to discuss their explanations with a partner. Follow with a whole-class discussion.
Engagement: Develop Effort and Persistence.
Encourage and support opportunities for peer interactions. Invite students to talk about their ideas with a partner before writing them down. Display sentence frames to support students when they explain their strategy. For example, “Both _____ and _____ are alike because . . .”, “ _____ and _____ are different because . . . ."
Supports accessibility for: Language; Social-emotional skills
Student Facing
Examine this set of triangles.
[IMG]
What is the same about the triangles in the set? What is different?
How many different triangles are there? Explain or show your reasoning.

Anticipated Misconceptions
Some students may say there are only 2 different triangles in this set, because they do not notice the slight size difference between the smaller two groups of triangles. Prompt them to look at where the
\(80^\circ\)
angle is located in comparison to the 6 cm side.
Activity Synthesis
Ask a few students to share how many different triangles they think are in this set. Select students to share the similarities and differences between triangles in the set. If necessary, trace a few triangles from the set and show how you can turn, flip, or move some of them to line up while others cannot be lined up. Ask students what this means about all the triangles in the set (they are not all identical to each other).
To highlight the differences among the triangles ask students:
“What differences do you see between the triangles in this activity and the triangles in the previous activity?” (The given conditions here were 2 angles and 1 side, the previous activity was 2 sides and 1 angle.)
“What similarities do you see between the triangles in this activity and the triangles in the previous activity?” (These triangles have all the same conditions but in a different order, and they made different triangles as was seen in the previous activity.)
If time permits, consider asking students to use a protractor to measure the unlabeled angle from each of the three different triangles. Discuss what they notice about the third angle. (It’s the same size in every triangle.)
Explain to students that here we see another example of different triangles that can be made using the same conditions (2 angles and 1 side) in different orders (side between the two angles, side next to the 40 degree angle and side next to the 80 degree angle). Tell them that in upcoming lessons we will continue to investigate what they noticed here with the addition of drawing the different triangles.
Speaking: MLR8 Discussion Supports.
Use this routine to amplify mathematical uses of language to communicate about similar triangles. As students share the similarities and differences they noticed about the triangles, invite other students to press for details, challenge an idea, elaborate on an idea, or give an example of their own process. Revoice student ideas to demonstrate mathematical language when necessary. This will help students produce and make sense of the language needed to communicate their own ideas.
