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: 
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 problem or activity shown below enable students to learn the full intent of the following concept or skill?

standard_description: Count to answer “how many?” questions about as many as 20 things arranged in a line, a rectangular array, or a circle, or as many as 10 things in a scattered configuration; given a number from 1–20, count out that many objects.
problem_activity: Task
A function machine takes an input, and based on some rule produces an output.
[IMG]
The tables below show some input-output pairs for different functions. For each table, describe a function rule in words that would produce the given outputs from the corresponding inputs. Then fill in the rest of the table values as inputs and outputs which are consistent with that rule.
Input values can be any English word. Output values are letters from the English alphabet.
$\ \ \ \ \ $
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["regular"]}, "tbody": [{"tr": [{"th": [{"_value": "input"}], "td": [{"_value": "cat"}, {"_value": "house"}, {"_value": "you"}, {"_value": "stem"}, {"_value": "$\\ \\ \\ \\ \\ $"}, {"_value": "$\\ \\ \\ \\ \\ $"}, {"_value": "$\\ \\ \\ \\ \\ $"}]}, {"th": [{"_value": "output"}], "td": [{"_value": "t"}, {"_value": "e"}, {"_value": "u"}, {}, {"_value": "z"}, {}, {}]}]}]}]}
Input values can be any rational number. Output values can be any rational number.
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["regular"]}, "tbody": [{"tr": [{"th": [{"_value": "input"}], "td": [{"_value": "$2$"}, {"_value": "$5$"}, {"_value": "$-1.53$"}, {"_value": "$0$"}, {"_value": "$-4 $"}, {"_value": "$\\ \\ \\ \\ \\ $"}, {"_value": "$\\ \\ \\ \\ \\ $"}]}, {"th": [{"_value": "output"}], "td": [{"_value": "$7$"}, {"_value": "$10$"}, {"_value": "$3.47$"}, {"_value": "$5$"}, {}, {"_value": "$8$"}, {}]}]}]}]}
Input values can be any whole number. Output values can be any whole number.
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["regular"]}, "tbody": [{"tr": [{"th": [{"_value": "input"}], "td": [{"_value": "$1$"}, {"_value": "$2$"}, {"_value": "$3$"}, {"_value": "$4$"}, {"_value": "$5$"}, {"_value": "$6$"}, {"_value": "$7$"}]}, {"th": [{"_value": "output"}], "td": [{"_value": "$2$"}, {"_value": "$1$"}, {"_value": "$4$"}, {"_value": "$\\ \\ \\ \\ \\ $"}, {}, {}, {}]}]}]}]}
Input values can be any whole number between 1 and 365. Output values can be any month of the year.
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["regular"]}, "tbody": [{"tr": [{"th": [{"_value": "input"}], "td": [{"_value": "25"}, {"_value": "365"}, {"_value": "35"}, {"_value": "95"}, {"_value": "330"}, {"_value": "66"}, {}]}, {"th": [{"_value": "output"}], "td": [{"_value": "January"}, {"_value": "December"}, {"_value": "February"}, {"_value": "April"}, {"_value": "November"}, {"_value": "$\\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ $"}, {"_value": "October"}]}]}]}]}
For at least one of the tables, describe a second rule which fits the given pairs but ultimately produces different pairs than the first rule for the rest of the table.
