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.


Thought: 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.


Thought: 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.


Thought: 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: Solve two-step word problems using the four operations. Represent these problems using equations with a letter standing for the unknown quantity. Assess the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies including rounding. (This standard is limited to problems posed with whole numbers and having whole number answers; students should know how to perform operations in the conventional order when there are no parentheses to specify a particular order (Order of Operations).)

Identify arithmetic patterns (including patterns in the addition table or multiplication table), and explain them using properties of operations. For example, observe that 4 times a number is always even, and explain why 4 times a number can be decomposed into two equal addends.
problem_activity: Problem 1
Ms. Holcombe buys 850 snacks for Monday and Tuesday. After handing out one snack to each student on Monday, she wants to make sure there will be enough snacks on Tuesday without having to count all of them. Since there are 438 students at Match Community Day, she says, "There are about 400 students at MCD. That means we have about 450 snacks left after handing out Monday’s snack. That’ll be enough for Tuesday!"
a.   Explain why Ms. Holcombe is not correct.
b.   How could Ms. Holcombe have used rounding to estimate more accurately?
c.   What is the exact number of snacks leftover for Tuesday?
Problem 2
Millie has 403 pennies in her piggy bank. Paulina has 185 pennies in her piggy bank. How many more pennies does Millie have than Paulina? Solve. Then assess the reasonableness of your answer.
Problem 3
Ms. Dowling’s class knows there are 149 students in Grades 11 and 12, and 317 students at Match High School in total. Three students are trying to figure out about how many students are in Grades 9 and 10 at Match High School. Here’s how each of them computed:
| **           Student          ** | **           Computation          ** |
|----------------------------------|--------------------------------------|
|               Matt               |              300 - 100               |
|             Beatriz              |              320 - 150               |
|              Alicia              |              317 - 100               |
Whose estimate is closest to the actual solution? How do you know?
