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

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: Use the four operations to solve word problems involving distances, intervals of time, liquid volumes, masses of objects, and money, including problems involving simple fractions or decimals, and problems that require expressing measurements given in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Represent measurement quantities using diagrams such as number line diagrams that feature a measurement scale.
problem_activity: Problem 1
a.   Fill in the following blanks to make true statements. Use base ten blocks to help you.
1 thousand is the same as _______ hundreds.
1 hundred is the same as _______ tens.
1 ten is the same as _______ ones.
1 one is the same as _______ tenths.
b.   Below is an area model that represents 1 one. It is partitioned into tenths. Partition it to show what you would expect the next smallest unit to look like so that it continues the pattern in Part (a).

c.   Use what you notice in Part (a) and (b) to write a similar sentence that starts “1 tenth is the same as…”
Problem 2
The shaded part of this diagram represents 1 hundredth. We can write this as the fraction
$$\frac{1}{100}$$
or as the decimal
0.01.
[IMG]
Fill out the following table to represent each given number.
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["table", "table-bordered"], "style": "width: 100%;"}, "tbody": [{"tr": [{"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Diagram"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Unit Form"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Fraction Form"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Decimal Form"}]}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}, "p": [{"img": [{"_attributes": {"src": "https://d21royfkw9g4l6.cloudfront.net/UXbX2I0Zc5A1kLpwT6BAA2_C9OM62.png"}}]}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}, "_value": "7 hundredths"}, {}, {}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}, "p": [{"img": [{"_attributes": {"src": "https://d21royfkw9g4l6.cloudfront.net/UXbX2I0Zc5A1kLpwT6BAA2_C9OM62.png"}}]}]}, {}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$$\\frac{32}{100}$$"}]}, {}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}, "p": [{"img": [{"_attributes": {"src": "https://d21royfkw9g4l6.cloudfront.net/UXbX2I0Zc5A1kLpwT6BAA2_C9OM62.png"}}]}]}, {}, {}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}, "_value": "0.85"}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}, "p": [{"img": [{"_attributes": {"src": "https://d21royfkw9g4l6.cloudfront.net/xJTfKSJObLTngvzpCrjGcc_LY71VX.png"}}]}]}, {}, {}, {}]}]}]}]}
Problem 3
a.   Explain why
$${{1\over10}={10\over100}}$$
. Draw a picture to illustrate your explanation.
b.   Explain why
$${0.20 = 0.2}$$
. Draw a picture to illustrate your explanation.
Problem 4
Jani and Kai are representing a decimal number. Here are the area models they drew:
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"align": "center", "class": ["table"], "style": "width:50%"}, "tbody": [{"tr": [{"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}, "_value": "Jani"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}, "_value": "Kai"}]}, {"td": [{"p": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}, "img": [{"_attributes": {"src": "https://d21royfkw9g4l6.cloudfront.net/pCjOWHyq93ljOqoarBpFRi_XAG8G1.png"}}]}]}, {"p": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: center;"}, "img": [{"_attributes": {"src": "https://d21royfkw9g4l6.cloudfront.net/IX0bwHJs13FGRL7TldfH6i_9P5SGX.png"}}]}]}]}]}]}]}
a.   What value do you think Jani and Kai are trying to model? How do you know?
b.   Draw pictures to show what Kai might have drawn for each area model in Anchor Task 2.
