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.

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: 
Recognize area as an attribute of plane figures and understand concepts of area measurement.

Answer: 
No. This activity does not teach students area as an attribute of plane figures. Instead, the activity focuses on solid, three-dimensional figures.

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

standard_description: Recognize a line of symmetry for a two-dimensional figure as a line across the figure such that the figure can be folded along the line into matching parts. Identify line-symmetric figures and draw lines of symmetry.
problem_activity: Problem 1
Jung's teacher drew a shape on the board (shown below), and asked the students to find the area of the shape. Describe a method Jung could use to find the area and then determine the area.

Problem 2
Find the area of the trapezoid below in three different ways by:
[IMG]
a.   Drawing a rectangle around the trapezoid and subtracting the additional area around it
b.   Dividing the trapezoid into two triangles using a diagonal line across the trapezoid
c.   Dividing the trapezoid into two right triangles and a rectangle
Problem 3
