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.


Your response:
Thought: This problem pertains to functions because it asks students to find the general solution to a trigonometric function.
Answer: B

Now, assign the following problem or activity to one or more relevant topics it teaches.

problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to learn about the meter as a longer metric unit of length. Students measure longer lengths with a new tool, the meter stick. Students measure strips of tape of different lengths and choose between a centimeter ruler and a meter stick in order to measure each. In the synthesis, students share their measurements of each line and discuss how they chose which tool to use to measure (MP5). Students measure Strips D
–
G in this activity. Students measure the komodo dragon (Strip D) twice to experience measuring the same length with a ruler and a meter stick. They discuss and compare their measurements in the lesson synthesis.
MLR2 Collect and Display.
Direct attention to words collected and displayed from the previous lesson. Add “meter stick” to the collection. Invite students to borrow language from the display as needed, and update it throughout the lesson.
Advances: Conversing, Reading
Engagement: Provide Access by Recruiting Interest.
Synthesis: Optimize meaning and value. Invite students to share people they know or specific jobs they recognize that may use the measuring tools they have been exposed to. “When and why might someone use these measuring tools?”
Supports accessibility for: Conceptual Processing
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Metersticks
Rulers (centimeters)
Launch
Groups of 3–4
Give each group a meter stick.
“We saw that measuring longer lengths with centimeters can be challenging. Luckily, there is a standard unit that is much larger than a centimeter that we can use. It’s called a
meter
.”
Show students a meter stick.
“This is called a meter stick. The length of one end to the other is 1 meter long. Just like we used centimeter cubes at first to measure centimeters. We can use the length of a meter stick to measure length in meters.”
“What do you notice about the meter stick?” (There are lots of little lines; the numbers go up to 100; every tenth number is bold)
30 seconds: quiet think time
Share responses.
“The meter stick makes it easier to measure longer lengths. We can use the meter stick to measure in meters or centimeters.”
“Find 50 cm on the meter stick.”
If time permits, find a few other markings.
Activity
“Now, let’s go back to our job as zookeepers and measure some even larger reptiles.”
“You are going to measure the komodo dragon again and 3 new reptiles."
“You may use any of the measuring tools you have used today. Be prepared to explain why you chose each tool.”
12 minutes: group work time
Monitor for the different ways students measure the ribbon snake and adult alligator including how they record their measurements in meters.

Measure the length of the komodo dragon in meters.
What is the same or different about your measurements for the komodo dragon from Activity 1 and Activity 2?
Measure each reptile in centimeters or meters. Don’t forget the units.
How long is an adult alligator?
How long is an adult cobra?
How long is a ribbon snake?

Advancing Student Thinking
If students do not measure using the meter stick, or only report their measurements in centimeters, consider asking:
“About how many meters long is the __?”
“What is different about measuring the __ in meters (or meters and centimeters) rather than only centimeters?”
Activity Synthesis
“Which tools did you use to measure Strip G, the ribbon snake? Why did you choose this tool?” (We used the meter stick and took away 10 because it was so close.)
“What did you do when you found that Strip E, the adult alligator, was longer than 3 meters but shorter than 4 meters?” (We saw it was closer to 3 meters so we said it was about 3 meters. We used the meter stick 3 times and then the cm ruler for the rest.)
