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: Use addition and subtraction within 100 to solve one- and two-step word problems involving situations of adding to, taking from, putting together, taking apart, and comparing, with unknowns in all positions, e.g., by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.
problem_activity: Task
In triangles $ABC$ and $DEF$ below $m(\angle A) = m(\angle D)$, $m(\angle B) = m(\angle E)$ and $|\overline{AB}| = |\overline{DE}|$.
[IMG]
Find a sequence of translations, rotations, and reflections which maps $\triangle ABC$ to $\triangle DEF$.
After working on problem (a), Melissa says
Since $m(\angle A) = m(\angle D)$ and $m(\angle B) = m(\angle E)$ then I also know that $m(\angle C) = m(\angle F)$. So these triangles share all three angles and this is enough to know that they are congruent. I don't need to be told that $|\overline{AB}| = |\overline{DE}|$.
Is Melissa correct that $m(\angle C) = m(\angle F)$? Explain.
Is she right that two triangles sharing three pairs of congruent angles are always congruent? Explain.
Below are two triangles which share three congruent angles: $m(\angle P) = m(\angle T)$, $m(\angle Q) = m(\angle U)$, $m(\angle R) = m(\angle V)$:

Show that, after applying a suitable dilation, $\triangle PQR$ is congruent to $\triangle TUV$.
