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.

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?

a.   What is the relationship between
$${{\angle AEC}}$$
and
$${\angle DEB}$$
? Between
$${{\angle AEC}}$$
and
$${\angle AED}$$
?
b.   Use transformations to show that
$${{\angle AEC}}$$
is congruent to
$${\angle DEB}$$
.
Problem 2
In the diagram below, lines
$$a$$
and

$$c$$
is a transversal that cuts through the parallel lines.
[IMG]
a.   Name four pairs of congruent vertical angles.
b.
$$\angle 2$$
and
$$\angle 8$$
