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

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?

Robb’s Fruit Farm consists of 100 acres on which three different types of apples grow. On 25 acres, the farm grows Empire apples. Macintosh apples grow on 30 acres of the farm. The remainder of the farm grows Fuji apples.
Shade in the grid below to represent the portion of the farm each apple type occupies. Use a different color or pattern for each type of apple. What percent of the fruit farm is taken up by each type of apple? Fill in the table below.

Problem 2
Adam’s Fruit Farm also has 100 acres, but he grows more than just apples. Oranges take up 60 acres of his farm.
What percent of Adam’s farm is oranges? What percent is not oranges? Draw a 10x1 tape diagram to model the situation.
