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.

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)


Description: 
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, assess whether the following problem or activity aligns with the provided description.

standard_description: 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.”)
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to match language to visual representations of rectangles and circles
partitioned and shaded in different ways.
Representation: Access for Perception.
Read each of the phrases aloud. Students who both listen to and read the information will benefit from extra processing time.
Supports accessibility for: Language, Conceptual Processing

Groups of 2
Activity
Read the task statement.
“You may use the phrases more than once.”
6 minutes: partner work time
Student Facing
Here are some ways to describe the shapes.
split into fourths
split into halves
split into quarters
a half shaded
a quarter shaded
a fourth shaded
two of the halves shaded
four of the fourths shaded
Label each shape with at least one phrase from the lists.

Activity Synthesis
Display the circle with four of the fourths shaded.
“Let’s list all the ways we could describe this shape.” (It’s split into fourths. It is split into quarters. Four of the fourths are shaded.)
Repeat with other shapes as time permits.
