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.

problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to compare different methods for solving problems within 100 using data presented in a bar graph. Students may use whatever method makes the most sense to them. The synthesis focuses on sharing multiple methods that students use to find the difference. Monitor for students who use methods that rely on using the bar graph to count on or count back and those that use more abstract methods, such as adding or subtracting by place value.
For example, when combining categories, some students may choose to use the graph to count on. Other students may choose to combine tens and ones with or without drawing a base-ten diagram or other representation.
Engagement: Provide Access by Recruiting Interest.
Provide choice. Invite students to choose a strategy and tool that works for them. Encourage students to use that same strategy and tool for both problems so they are not overwhelmed.
Supports accessibility for: Conceptual Processing, Organization, Attention
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Connecting cubes in towers of 10 and singles
Required Preparation
Create towers of 10 with the connecting cubes.
Have single connecting cubes available.
Launch
Groups of 2
Display the bar graph.
“What does this graph tell us?” (students’ favorite movie snacks, students picked their favorite movie snacks)
1 minute: quiet think time
1 minuter: partner discussion
Share responses.
Give students access to connecting cubes in towers of ten and singles.
Activity
“Use the bar graph to answer the questions. Show your thinking using drawings, numbers, or words.”
“You can use the connecting cubes or any of the other representations we saw in the warm-up to help you.”
8 minutes: independent work time
“Now compare your methods with your partner. How are they similar or different?”
4 minutes: partner discussion
As students work, monitor for students who:
use the bar graph to count on or count back
use the connecting cubes or base-ten drawings to show adding or subtracting tens with tens and ones with ones
Student Facing
Use the bar graph to answer the questions.

Activity Synthesis
Invite previously identified students to share the method they used to find how many more students chose nachos than chose popcorn.
As needed, record student methods using equations.
Consider asking:
“How are these methods the same? How are they different?”
“How does the method work? Why does each method find the same value?”
