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: Use a pair of perpendicular number lines, called axes, to define a coordinate system, with the intersection of the lines (the origin) arranged to coincide with the 0 on each line and a given point in the plane located by using an ordered pair of numbers, called its coordinates. Understand that the first number indicates how far to travel from the origin in the direction of one axis, and the second number indicates how far to travel in the direction of the second axis, with the convention that the names of the two axes and the coordinates correspond (e.g., x-axis and x-coordinate, y-axis and y-coordinate).
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to practice generating two different patterns from two different rules and observe and quantify relationships between corresponding terms. Both sets of rules generate patterns that have the same relationships between corresponding terms. Each of Priya’s terms is 3 times greater than each of Jada’s corresponding terms and each of Jada’s terms is
\(\frac{1}{3}\)
of Priya’s corresponding terms.
When students find and explain patterns related rules and relationships, they look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning (MP8).
Launch
Groups of 2
“You and your partner will each complete some problems about patterns independently. After you’re done, discuss your work with your partner.”
Activity
5 minutes: independent work time
3 minutes: partner discussion
“Look back at your work and make any revisions based on what you learned from discussing with your partner.”
1–2 minutes: independent work time
Monitor for students who:
revise their thinking based on partner discussion
use multiplication expressions to represent the relationships between the patterns
Student Facing
Partner A
Use each rule to create a pattern.
Jada’s rule: Start at 0. Keep adding 2.
[IMG]
Priya’s rule: Start at 0. Keep adding 6.
[IMG]
If the patterns continue:
What number will be in Priya’s pattern when Jada’s pattern has 34? Explain or show your reasoning.
What number will be in Jada’s pattern when Priya’s pattern has 120? Explain or show your reasoning.
What relationships do you notice between the numbers in Priya's pattern and the numbers in Jada's pattern?
Partner B
Use each rule to create a pattern.
Jada’s rule: Start at 0. Keep adding 3.
[IMG]
Priya’s rule: Start at 0. Keep adding 9.
[IMG]
If the patterns continue,
What number will be in Priya’s pattern when Jada’s pattern has 54? Explain or show your reasoning.
What number will be in Jada’s pattern when Priya’s pattern has 198? Explain or show your reasoning.
What relationships do you notice between the numbers in Priya’s pattern and the numbers in Jada’s pattern?

Activity Synthesis
Ask previously identified students to share their thinking.
Display completed patterns from both sets of rules.
“How are the patterns from the pairs of rules the same? How are they different?” (Some of the numbers are in all four patterns. Some numbers aren’t in any pattern like 5 and 11. In both sets of rules, Priya’s numbers are 3 times greater than Jada’s numbers and Jada’s numbers are
\(\frac{1}{3}\)
Priya’s numbers.)
“How would you describe the relationship between Priya's pattern and Jada's pattern?” (Priya's numbers are all 3 times as much as Jada's corresponding numbers.)
“What can I multiply the numbers in Priya’s pattern by to get the corresponding numbers in Jada’s pattern?” (
\(\frac{1}{3}\)
, each number in Jada's pattern is
\(\frac{1}{3}\)
the corresponding number in Priya's pattern.)
