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.

Task
Suppose $A$ is an angle with vertex $P$, as pictured below:

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.

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.

options: Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide. (Students need not use formal terms for these properties.) ^( )Examples: If 6 × 4 = 24 is known, then 4 × 6 = 24 is also known. (Commutative property of multiplication.) 3 × 5 × 2 can be found by 3 × 5 = 15, then 15 × 2 = 30, or by 5 × 2 = 10, then 3 × 10 = 30. (Associative property of multiplication.) Knowing that 8 × 5 = 40 and 8 × 2 = 16, one can find 8 × 7 as 8 × (5 + 2) = (8 × 5) + (8 × 2) = 40 + 16 = 56. (Distributive property.)

Understand division as an unknown-factor problem. For example, find 32 ÷ 8 by finding the number that makes 32 when multiplied by 8.
problem_activity: Narrative
Previously, students multiplied two factors where one factor was a whole number and the other a teen number. The purpose of this activity is for students to make sense of multiplication of a one-digit number and a two-digit number greater than 20. Students analyze representations used to find
\(4 \times 23\)
and articulate reasons for using strategies that are based on the distributive property and place value to find products (MP7). Along the way, they see that decomposing the two-digit factors into tens and ones is particularly helpful for multiplying. They also reinforce what they know about the connections between area diagrams and multiplication expressions.

“Take a minute to make sense of how Clare and Andre represented

1 minute: quiet think time
Give students access to grid paper and base-ten blocks.
Activity
“Now, work with your partner to complete the first two problems about
\(4 \times 23\)
.”
8–10 minutes: partner work time
Monitor for the diagrams that students choose in Diego’s problem and for their explanations.
Pause for a discussion. Invite students to share their responses.
If not mentioned by students, clarify that all diagrams can be used to multiply 4 and 23, but not all are equally practical.
Select a student to explain why diagram D might be more productive than the other diagrams.
“Now, work independently to complete the last problem.”
2–3 minutes: independent work time

Here is how Clare and Andre represented
\(4 \times 23\)

Advancing Student Thinking
If students choose a diagram in the second problem that doesn't help them find the product of
\(4\times23\)
, consider asking:
“Tell me about how you chose which diagram you would use to find the value of
\(4\times23\)
.”
“Is there another diagram that would make finding the value of
\(4\times23\)
easier? How would it make it easier?”
Activity Synthesis
“What representations did you use in the last question to show
\(3 \times 28\)
? How did they help you find the product?” (Base-ten blocks helped me break the 28 into tens and ones. A diagram with a grid helped me break 28 into smaller numbers. A diagram with no grid helped me think about the numbers as I labeled it without worrying about all the little squares.)
