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

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: 
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: Recognize that in a multi-digit number, a digit in one place represents 10 times as much as it represents in the place to its right and 1/10 of what it represents in the place to its left.
problem_activity: Problem 1
Josie makes 1.7 liters of lemonade. Josie’s mom tells her to split it evenly with her brother. How much lemonade, in liters, will Josie and her brother each get?
Problem 2
Here is how Mai used base-ten diagrams to calculate 0.62 ÷ 5. She started by representing 0.62.
[IMG]
She then made 5 groups, each with 1 tenth. There was 1 tenth left. She unbundled it into 10 hundredths and distributed the hundredths into 5 groups. Here is her diagram for 0.62 ÷ 5.
[IMG]
Mai should have a total of 12 hundredths, but her diagram shows only 10. Why?
She did not originally have thousandths, but in her diagrams each group has 4 thousandths. Why?
What value has Mai found for 0.62 ÷ 5?
Problem 3
Here is how Lin calculated 0.62 ÷ 5.
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["table", "table-bordered"], "style": "table-layout:Fixed; width:100%"}, "tbody": [{"tr": [{"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center; vertical-align:top"}, "p": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: left;"}, "_value": "Lin wrote the dividend, 0.62, and the divisor, 5."}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center; vertical-align:top"}, "p": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: left;"}, "_value": "She subtracted 5 groups of different amounts from 0.62, starting with 5 groups of 0.10, then 5 groups of 0.02."}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center; vertical-align:top"}, "p": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: left;"}, "_value": "Lin wrote 0 to the right of the 2, which made 0.020."}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center; vertical-align:top"}, "p": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: left;"}, "_value": "Lastly, she subtracted 5 times 0.004 from 0.020, which left no remainder."}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align: left;"}, "_value": "Then she added 0.100 + 0.020 + 0.004, which gave a quotient of 0.124."}]}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center; vertical-align:top"}, "img": [{"_attributes": {"src": "https://d21royfkw9g4l6.cloudfront.net/9FyZXfKqijxVpRgv2Bc6qf_CDWBZL.png"}}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center; vertical-align:top"}, "img": [{"_attributes": {"src": "https://d21royfkw9g4l6.cloudfront.net/nxKMGc5DKRKgY6x2FVmo07_YDGM41.png"}}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center; vertical-align:top"}, "img": [{"_attributes": {"src": "https://d21royfkw9g4l6.cloudfront.net/O3iHOw3zlpAkiFdwXHFNPB_NVXARD.png"}}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center; vertical-align:top"}, "img": [{"_attributes": {"src": "https://d21royfkw9g4l6.cloudfront.net/91UkRicG3K9xdXGPqEsgOT_06NZSH.png"}}]}]}]}]}]}
Lin put a 0 after the remainder of 0.02. Why? Why does this 0 not change the value of the quotient?
What value did Lin find for 0.62 ÷ 5?
