Problem/activity:
Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to create composite shapes and compose new shapes from composite shapes. For example, students may find that a rectangular prism can be made from four triangular prisms or from eight smaller cubes. Students then discover that they can combine two of the composed rectangular prisms to make a new rectangular prism.
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Geoblocks
Launch
Groups of 4
Give each group geoblocks.
Display a large cube.
“This cube can be built from other shapes. See how many ways you can build a cube using other shapes.”
3 minutes: partner work time
Share responses.
Activity
“Choose a different shape. Try to find smaller shapes you can use to build that shape.”

Activity Synthesis
Display a cube and a composite cube—for example, a cube composed of four small cubes and one rectangular prism.
Demonstrate putting the shapes together.
“What new shape did I make with the cube and the cube I made?”
“Put your shapes together to make a rectangular prism.”
Display a rectangular prism and two triangular prisms.
“Find these shapes. Put them together. What new shape can you make?” (a cube, a rectangular block)


Concept/skill: 
Compose two-dimensional shapes (rectangles, squares, trapezoids, triangles, half-circles, and quarter-circles) or three-dimensional shapes (cubes, right rectangular prisms, right circular cones, and right circular cylinders) to create a composite shape, and compose new shapes from the composite shape. (Students do not need to learn formal names such as “right rectangular prism.”)

Answer: 
Yes. This activity asks students to compose three-dimensional shapes, using geoblocks, to create composite shapes.

Now, does the following problem or activity enable students to learn the full intent of the following concept or skill?

standard_description: Relate counting to addition and subtraction (e.g., by counting on 2 to add 2).
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this Number Talk is to elicit strategies and understandings students have for dividing within 100 and to help students develop fluency.
When students use known multiplication and division facts to divide larger numbers, they look for and make use of structure (MP7).
Launch
Display one expression.
“Give me a signal when you have an answer and can explain how you got it.”
1 minute: quiet think time
Activity
Record answers and strategy.
Keep expressions and work displayed.
Repeat with each expression.
Student Facing
Find the value of each expression mentally.
\(30\div3\)
\(60\div3\)
\(63\div3\)
\(54\div3\)

Activity Synthesis
“How did you use division facts that you already know to find some of the other quotients?” (I knew that
\(60\div3\)
would be double the answer of
\(30\div3\)
. Once I knew
\(60\div3\)
, I was able to find
\(63\div3\)
by adding another group of 3 and
\(54\div3\)
by taking groups of 3 away.)
