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, in json format:
{
  "explanation": "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, in json format:
{
  "explanation": "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, in json format:
{
  "explanation": "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"

options: Compare two numbers between 1 and 10 presented as written numerals.

Identify whether the number of objects in one group is greater than, less than, or equal to the number of objects in another group, e.g., by using matching and counting strategies (include groups with up to ten objects).
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to put together pattern blocks to form larger shapes in more than one way. Students create hexagons using different combinations of pattern blocks. In the synthesis, students discuss whether the same pattern blocks in different orientations should be considered as different ways to make a hexagon (MP3). There is no one correct answer to the question. The goal is for students to notice and discuss that the same pattern blocks are arranged in different orientations.
MLR8 Discussion Supports.
To support the transfer of new vocabulary to long-term memory, invite students to chorally repeat these words in unison 1–2 times: more, fewer, the same as.
Advances: Listening, Speaking
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Pattern blocks
Launch
Groups of 2
Give each group of students pattern blocks.
“Work with your partner to find many different ways to make hexagons with pattern blocks. Tell your partner about the shapes that you use each time using ‘more’, ‘fewer’, or ‘the same number’.”

Advancing Student Thinking
If students find one or two ways to fill in the hexagon pattern block puzzle:
“Tell me more about which pattern blocks you used to make the hexagon.”
“Can you use these green triangle pattern blocks to make this red trapezoid pattern block? How can that help you find another way to fill in the hexagon?”
Activity Synthesis
Invite students to share different ways they made a hexagon.
As students share, say “Tell your partner about the shapes that they used using ‘more’, ‘fewer’, or ‘the same number’.”
Display all of the ways to make a hexagon that students have shared.
“Are there any other ways to make a hexagon with pattern blocks?”
Display 2 hexagons created with 2 blue rhombus pattern blocks and 2 green triangle pattern blocks in different orientations:

“Han and Clare shared these ways to make a hexagon with pattern blocks. Are these the same way to make a hexagon or a different way? Why do you think that?” (They are the same because they used the same pattern blocks but put them in different spots. It looks like they flipped it. They are different because the pattern blocks are in different places, so they look different.)
