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"

options: Fluently multiply and divide within 100, using strategies such as the relationship between multiplication and division (e.g., knowing that 8 × 5 = 40, one knows 40 ÷ 5 = 8) or properties of operations. By the end of Grade 3, know from memory all products of two one-digit numbers.
problem_activity: Narrative
In this activity, students are given expressions that represent strategies for finding the area of rectangles. The strategies are based on the distributive property and the associative property of multiplication. Students interpret the expressions by marking or shading area diagrams and connect each expression to the product of two factors (MP2). For instance, they see that to find the value of
\(2 \times (2 \times 6)\)
is to find the value of
\(4 \times 6\)
or
\(6 \times 4\)
.
MLR8 Discussion Supports:
Synthesis: Create a visual display of the diagrams. As students share their strategies, annotate the display to illustrate connections. For example, trace the area showing 5 columns of 3, and write
\(5 \times 3\)
.
Advances: Speaking, Representing
Engagement: Provide Access by Recruiting Interest.
Leverage choice around perceived challenge. Invite students to select at least 2 of the 3 problems to complete.
Supports accessibility for: Organization, Attention, Social-emotional skills
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Colored pencils, crayons, or markers
Launch
Groups of 2
“Take a minute to read the directions of the activity. Then, talk to your partner about what you are asked to do.”
1 minute: quiet think time
1 minute: partner discussion
Answer any clarifying questions from students.
Give students access to colored pencils, crayons, or markers.
Activity
“Mark or shade each diagram to represent how each student found the area.”
3–5 minutes: independent work time
“Share with your partner how you used the rectangles to show each expression.”
3–5 minutes: partner discussion
Student Facing
Here are some rectangles and expressions that show how three students saw the area of the rectangles.
Noah
[IMG]
\((5\times 3)+(2 \times 3)\)
Priya
[IMG]
\(2 \times (2 \times 6)\)
Tyler
[IMG]
\((5 \times 8) + (3 \times 8)\)
For each rectangle:
Name the two factors that can be multiplied to find its area.
Mark or shade each rectangle to show how each student saw the area. Be prepared to explain your reasoning.

Activity Synthesis
“What are the two factors you can multiply to find the area of Noah’s rectangle?” (7 and 3)
“How are those numbers related to the expression that he wrote:
\((5\times 3)+(2 \times 3)\)
?”  (
\(7 \times 3\)
is 21. Finding
\(5\times3\)
, which is 15, then adding
\(2\times3\)
, which is 6, also gives 21.)
“Where do you see the two factors in his expression?” (The 7 is 5 and 2 combined. The 3 is in the
\(5 \times 3\)
and
\(2 \times 3\)
.)
Repeat the line of questioning with Priya’s rectangle and expression.
