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: Narrative
Students begin the activity by looking at the problem displayed, rather than in their books. At the end of the launch, students work on the problem. This activity prompts students to use what they know about multiplication, division, factors, and multiples to solve problems. The problem does not have a question, so students will need to make sense of the context and generate potential questions that might be answered (MP2). Students are encouraged in the task to attend to the details of the situation and to engage in genuine curiosity about the mathematics that is embedded within it.
This activity uses MLR5 Co-craft Questions. Advances: writing, reading, representing
Representation: Develop Language and Symbols.
Represent the problem in multiple ways to support understanding. For example, invite students to represent the situation as a comic strip or a collage. Offer relevant images such as a movie theater, a sign showing admissions prices, a cash register, and a calendar. Alternatively, invite students to act out the situation. Consider using play money, signs with two days of the week written on them, and the action of “fast forwarding” through days and a night. Consider asking, “How might you represent the situation in a mathematical diagram?”

MLR5 Co-Craft Questions
Read only the first two paragraphs without revealing the question(s).
“Write a list of mathematical questions that could be asked about this situation.”
2 minutes: independent work time
2–3 minutes: partner discussion
Invite several students to share one question with the class. Record responses for use later in the task.
“What information from the situation can be used to answer this question?” (The number of days tickets were purchased, the total number of money earned by the theater, the price of movie tickets)
Reveal the task (students open books), and invite additional connections.
Activity
“Choose a question from the list to answer.”
“Work with a partner to complete the activity.”
Remind students of the list of questions generated during the launch as a reference during the activity.
Student Facing
Movie tickets are \$9 each. The theater sold the same number of tickets two days in a row.
The theater made \$3,132 from ticket sales on the first day.
[IMG]
Record and answer one question of your choice from the list the class generated. Discuss your strategy with your partner.
Use the given information about movie tickets to complete the following statement:
__________ tickets were sold on the first and second days.
A medium drink is \$7 and small popcorn is \$5. If each ticket holder purchases popcorn and a drink, how much money will the theater collect from the sales of popcorn and drink?

Advancing Student Thinking
Students may think of questions that cannot be answered using the information provided. Consider asking: “What would we need to know to be able to answer this question?” and “How might we find out this information?” The result of these questions may not enable the students to answer the questions, but will support them in making sense of the problem and identifying information necessary to solve the problems.
Activity Synthesis
Select 1–2 students to share their reasoning and responses.
If not clarified in students’ explanations, discuss a possible path for finding out the number of tickets sold over the two days using the given information. (For instance: Each ticket is \$9 and we know the total amount of money earned by selling tickets in one day, \$3,132. If we divide the total amount earned by the price of each ticket, we can find out how many tickets were sold on one day.
\(3,\!132\div 9 = 348\)
. If 348 tickets were sold on one day, then
\(348 \times 2\)
or 696 tickets were sold in the two days. We can also multiply \$3,132 by 2 first then divide by \$9 to get the total number of tickets.)
