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: Activity
The mathematical purpose of this activity is for students to create data displays and calculate statistics using technology. Students plot the survey data they collected from a statistical question in a previous lesson.
Launch
Arrange students in groups of two. Tell them that they will be using technology to create data displays and calculate statistics for data they collected from a survey question in a previous lesson.
Conversing, Representing, Writing: MLR 2 Collect and Display.
As pairs are working, listen for and collect vocabulary, phrases, and methods students use for creating dot plots, boxplots, and histograms using technology, such as data set, skewed distribution, median, the box plot for the IQR. Consider grouping language for each data display in different areas, and be sure to include the spreadsheet formulas. Continue to update collected student language throughout the entire activity and the entire unit. Remind students to borrow language from the display as needed. This will help students to expand their notation of recursive definitions.
Design Principle(s): Support sense-making; Maximize meta-awareness
Engagement: Develop Effort and Persistence.
Provide prompts, reminders, guides, rubrics, checklists that focus on increasing the length of on-task orientation in the face of distractions. For example, create an exemplar dot plot highlighting specific features, such as the scale and labels, as well as calculations for the mean and median.
Supports accessibility for: Attention; Social-emotional skill
Student Facing
Use the data you collected from the numerical, statistical question from a previous lesson. Use technology to create a dot plot, boxplot, and histogram for your data. Then find the mean, median, and interquartile range for the data.

A stem and leaf plot is a table where each data point is indicated by writing the first digit(s) on the left (the stem) and the last digit(s) on the right (the leaves). Each stem is written only once and shared by all data points with the same first digit(s). For example, the values 31, 32, and 45 might be represented like:
\(\displaystyle \begin{array}{r|l l} 3 & 1 & 2\\ 4 & 5 \end{array}\)
Key: 3 | 1 means 31
A class took an exam and earned the scores:
86, 73, 85, 86, 72, 94, 88, 98, 87, 86, 85, 93, 75, 64, 82, 95, 99, 76, 84, 68
Use technology to create a stem and leaf plot for this data set.
How can we see the shape of the distribution from this plot?
What information can we see from a stem and leaf plot that we cannot see from a histogram?
What do we have more control of in a histogram than in a stem and leaf plot?

Anticipated Misconceptions
Students may lose one data display when they begin to create the next one. Explain to students that it is important to copy their solutions into a more permanent place so they can refer to it later.
Activity Synthesis
The goal of this activity was for students to create graphs and find statistics using technology. Here are some questions for discussion.
“What were some challenges that you faced using technology and how did you overcome them?” (I was not sure what buttons to press to get to the spreadsheet. I checked with my partner and figured it out.)
“What width did you use for your histogram? Why?” (I used 5 because my data set has values ranging from 1 to 42. I could have used 10 but then I would have only had 5 bars.)
“What is the appropriate measure of center for your data set?” (The median was appropriate because my data set has a skewed distribution.)
“Which display allows you to calculate the IQR the most easily?” (The box plot because it displays Q1 and Q3.)
“Can you find the median using your histogram?” (No, the data is grouped into intervals, so a histogram cannot be used to find the middle value for the median.)
