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: 
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: Count within 1000; skip-count by 5s, 10s, and 100s.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to use what they know about counting within 1,000 to make sense of number lines that show counting on or counting back by 10 or 100. This work helps build fluency with counting within 1,000 and connects to an upcoming lesson where students add and subtract multiples of 10 or 100 using equations.
MLR8 Discussion Supports.
Invite students to begin partner interactions by repeating the question, “What pattern do you notice?” This gives both students an opportunity to produce language.
Advances: Conversing
Launch
Groups of 2
Display the number line with jumps of 100.
“On this number line there are 5 tick marks, but only 3 are labeled. What are the missing numbers and how do you know?” (534 and 634 because the jumps are the same length and they must be jumps of 100. The hundreds place is increasing by 1, but the other places are not changing.)
30 seconds: quiet think time
30 seconds: partner discussion
Share and record responses.
“You recognized that the length between each tick mark must represent 100. The tick marks and arrows show counting on by 100 on the number line.”
Activity
“For each of the problems, use what you know about counting, representing numbers on the number line, and place value to find the missing numbers.”
10 minutes: partner work time
Monitor for a student to share their reasoning for _____, _____, 332, 342, 352

739, 749, __________, 769, __________
Explain how you can tell your numbers show counting on by 10 and not counting on by 100.

Advancing Student Thinking
If students find the missing numbers by counting by 1 instead of using patterns increasing by 10 or 100, consider asking:
“What digit is changing? Is it going up or down?”
“How can that help you figure out the count?”
Activity Synthesis
Invite a student to share their reasoning for _____, _____, 332, 342, 352.
“How did you figure out the starting number?” (I saw that it was going up by 10, so I knew I had to count back by 10 to find the starting numbers.)
Record responses with an open number line and equations.
