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 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.

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.",

options: Given a rectangle, parallelogram, trapezoid, or regular polygon, describe the rotations and reflections that carry it onto itself.

Know precise definitions of angle, circle, perpendicular line, parallel line, and line segment, based on the undefined notions of point, line, distance along a line, and distance around a circular arc.

Represent transformations in the plane using, e.g., transparencies and geometry software; describe transformations as functions that take points in the plane as inputs and give other points as outputs. Compare transformations that preserve distance and angle to those that do not (e.g., translation versus horizontal stretch).

Develop definitions of rotations, reflections, and translations in terms of angles, circles, perpendicular lines, parallel lines, and line segments.

Given a geometric figure and a rotation, reflection, or translation, draw the transformed figure using, e.g., graph paper, tracing paper, or geometry software. Specify a sequence of transformations that will carry a given figure onto another.
problem_activity: Activity
In this activity, students get another opportunity to practice drawing dilations precisely. They also get to see the effects of different scale factors on an image. By assigning students scale factors less than and greater than one, students get a chance to see how the image is taken closer to or farther away from the center of dilation. By assigning equivalent scale factors, such as
\(\frac32\)
and 1.5, students get a chance to explore how images dilated with the same scale factor are congruent. They also get a chance to remind themselves of decimal representations of fractions, which will be useful when they calculate scale factors from ratios of side lengths in later lessons.
Launch
Arrange students in groups of 2. Assign each student a scale factor from the list:
\(\frac14\)
,
\(\frac12\)
,
\(\frac34\)
,
\(\frac76\)
,
\(\frac32\)
,
\(\frac52\)
, 0.25, 0.5, 1.5, 2.5
Representation: Internalize Comprehension.
Chunk this task into more manageable parts to differentiate the degree of difficulty or complexity. Assign
\(\frac12\)
and
\(\frac32\)
to a pair of students who would benefit from additional support.

Here is a center of dilation and a triangle.
[IMG]
Measure the sides of triangle
\(EFG\)
(to the nearest mm).
Your teacher will assign you a scale factor. Predict the relative lengths of the original figure and the image after you dilate by your scale factor.

How does your prediction compare to the image you drew?

Anticipated Misconceptions
If students are unclear about relative lengths, tell them to make a prediction and write a description such as “a little smaller” or “a lot bigger” before they calculate.
Activity Synthesis
The goal of this discussion is to identify the effects of various scale factors. Collect and align several tracing papers on the original image. Invite students to make generalizations about different scenarios:
compare scale factors which are greater and less than one
compare equivalent scale factors with different representations (such as 0.5 and
\(\frac12\)
)
Speaking: MLR8 Discussion Supports.
Use this routine to help students produce statements about the scale factor of a dilation. Provide sentence frames for students to use when they generalize the effects of various scale factors, such as: “If _____ , then _____ because….” and “_____ will always _____ because….”
Design Principle(s): Support sense-making; Optimize output (for generalization)
