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.”

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

standard_description: Write arithmetic and geometric sequences both recursively and with an explicit formula, use them to model situations, and translate between the two forms.
problem_activity: Problem 1
Four sequences are shown below. Which one does not belong and why?
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"align": "center", "class": ["table", "table-bordered"], "style": "table-layout:fixed; width:60%"}, "tbody": [{"tr": [{"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$${4, 8, 12, 16, 20 ...}$$"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$${50, 46, 42, 38, 34, ...}$$"}]}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$${1, 4, 16, 64, 216, ...}$$"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$${1600, 400, 100, 25, 12.5, ...}$$"}]}]}]}]}]}
Problem 2
Complete each sequence by filling in the missing terms. Then identify each sequence as arithmetic or geometric and name the common difference or common ratio.
a.
$${-2}$$
,
$$4$$
, ___, ___, ___,
$${28}$$
, ...
b.
$${{1\over2}}$$
, ___, ___,
$$4$$
,
$$8$$
, ___, …
c.
$$5$$
, ___, ___, ___,
$${2{1\over3}}$$
,
$${1{2\over3}}$$
, ...
d.   ___,

, ___, …
Problem 3
Write a recursive formula for each sequence.
a.
$${11, \space14,\space 17,\space 20,\space 23, …}$$
b.
$${{1\over9},\space {1\over3},\space1,\space 3,\space 9,\space …}$$
c.
$${32,\space 16,\space 8,\space 4,\space 2,\space …}$$
