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

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: Construct a function to model a linear relationship between two quantities. Determine the rate of change and initial value of the function from a description of a relationship or from two (x, y) values, including reading these from a table or from a graph. Interpret the rate of change and initial value of a linear function in terms of the situation it models, and in terms of its graph or a table of values.
problem_activity: Warm-up
In this warm-up, students revisit quadratic expressions in different forms and what the expressions reveal about the graphs that represent them. They match equations and graphs representing two quadratic functions. The axes of the graphs are unlabeled, so students need to reason abstractly about the parameters in the expressions and the features of the graphs.

Here are graphs representing the functions
\(f\)
and
\(g\)
, given by
\(f(x) = x(x+6)\)
and
\(g(x) = x(x+6)+4\)
.
Which graph represents each function? Explain how you know.
Where does the graph of
\(f\)
meet the
\(x\)
-axis? Explain how you know.

Activity Synthesis
Invite students to share their matches and explanations. If one or more explanations in the Student Response are not mentioned, bring them up so that students can see multiple ways of reasoning about the equations and graphs.
