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:
{
  "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:
{
  "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:
{
  "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"
}

problem_activity: Narrative
This optional activity gives students an additional opportunity to practice using number lines to decompose fractions into sums of other fractions and to record the decompositions as equations.
The fractions on the cards (shown here) contain no whole numbers or mixed numbers, but some students may use them to help them find the second addend (and to avoid counting tick marks on the number line). Some may also choose to label each number line with whole numbers beyond 1 to facilitate their reasoning and equation writing.
\(\frac{1}{3} \qquad \frac{2}{3} \qquad \frac{3}{3} \qquad \frac{4}{3} \qquad \frac{5}{3} \qquad \frac{6}{3} \qquad \frac{7}{3} \qquad \frac{8}{3}\)
Required Materials
Materials to Copy
Make Two Jumps
Required Preparation
Create a set of cards from the blackline master for each group of 2.
Launch
Groups of 2
Give each group a set of fraction cards from the blackline master.
Display the four number lines.
“What do you notice? What do you wonder?”
30 seconds: quiet think time
30 seconds: partner discussion
Activity
“Label each point on the number line with a fraction it represents.”
1–2 minutes: independent work time
“You will make two jumps on the number line to go from 0 to the point and write an equation to represent your moves.”
Explain how to use the cards and how to complete the task. Consider demonstrating with an example and allowing students to ask clarifying questions before they begin.
Monitor for students who:
use whole numbers and mixed numbers in their equations and those who don’t
label their number lines with whole numbers beyond 1
Student Facing
Here are four number lines, each with a point on it.

For each number line, label the point. This is your target. Make two forward jumps to get from 0 to the target.
Pick a card from the set given to you. Use the fraction on it for your first jump. Draw the jump and label it with the fraction.
From there, draw the second jump to reach the target. What fraction do you need to add? Label the jump with the fraction.
Write an equation to represent the sum of your two fractions.

Activity Synthesis
Select previously identified students to share their responses to the first couple of diagrams (or more if time permits). Start with students who used no whole numbers or mixed numbers. Ask them to explain why they chose to write the numbers the way they did.
Consider discussing the merits and challenges (if any) of expressing the fractions as whole or mixed numbers.
