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.”
5 minutes: partner work time

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: Classify two-dimensional figures based on the presence or absence of parallel or perpendicular lines, or the presence or absence of angles of a specified size. Recognize right triangles as a category, and identify right triangles.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to practice drawing and describing figures with points, lines, line segments, rays, angles (right, acute, obtuse), and perpendicular and parallel lines.
Students draw two-dimensional figures and then describe it to their partner. Their partner attempts to draw the figure without seeing it, making it important to use precise language to communicate important features of the figure (MP6).
Representation: Develop Language and Symbols.
Provide students with access to definitions or reminders of recently learned terms, such as: ray, line segment, right angle, acute angle, obtuse angle, perpendicular lines, parallel lines.
Supports accessibility for: Memory, Conceptual Processing, Attention
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Rulers or straightedges
Launch
Groups of 2
Activity
5 minutes: independent work time
8–10 minutes: partner work time
Monitor for diagrams that reflect a variety of geometric features.
Monitor for students who consider both geometric features and measurement in the description.
Student Facing
Create a two-dimensional shape that has at least 3 of the following:
ray
line segment
right angle
acute angle
obtuse angle
perpendicular lines
parallel lines
Without showing your partner, describe the figure so that your partner is able to draw it as best as possible.
Switch roles, and draw your partner’s shape based on their description.

Activity Synthesis
Invite previously selected students to share.
“What would have helped your partner make a more accurate drawing?” (If I described the measure of the angle, measure of the line segment, the location, a grid, using a straight edge)
