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.”
3 minutes: partner work time
Share responses.
Activity
“Choose a different shape. Try to find smaller shapes you can use to build that shape.”
5 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?

1
standard_description: Draw a picture graph and a bar graph (with single-unit scale) to represent a data set with up to four categories. Solve simple put together, take-apart, and compare problems  using information presented in a bar graph.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to answer questions about the data represented by their picture graphs and bar graphs. Students switch workbooks with a new partner, which is an opportunity for students to view each other’s work and see different representations of data. While students are answering questions based on different graphs, identify the questions that are harder for students to answer. These questions can be discussed in the lesson synthesis. In upcoming lessons, students will have more opportunities to work with questions that require comparing categories.
Representation: Internalize Comprehension.
Synthesis: Invite students to identify which details were important or most useful to pay attention to. Display the sentence frame, “The next time I answer questions about a graph, I will . . . .“
Supports accessibility for: Conceptual Processing, Memory
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Materials from a previous lesson
Required Preparation
Each student needs the picture graph and bar graph they created in the previous lesson.
Launch
Groups of 2: different partner than previous activity
“Tear out the page in your books labeled ‘Answering Questions Using Graphs.’”
Activity
“Now you are going to answer questions a different partner has written about their graphs.”
“Write your name and your partner’s name on the top of the page.”
“Trade graphs and questions with your partner. Answer each of the questions your partner wrote.”
6 minutes: independent work time
“Discuss the questions and answers with your partner to see if you agree.”
6 minutes: partner discussion
Monitor for students who mention the graph features like the title or labels when answering, "How did you know where to find the answer to each question?"
Student Facing
Answer your partner’s questions from Activity 1 using the graphs.
