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

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.”

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: Fluently add and subtract within 1000 using strategies and algorithms based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to solve problems that involve multiplication where one factor is a teen number. Students may solve and represent the problem any way they choose. In problem 3, look for different ways in which students are using area diagrams to highlight in the posters for the gallery walk in the next activity. Students reason abstractly and quantitatively when they interpret the stories and represent them with diagrams, expressions, or equations (MP2).
Engagement: Provide Access by Recruiting Interest.
Leverage choice around perceived challenge. Invite students to select at least 2 of the 4 problems to complete.
Supports accessibility for: Organization, Attention, Social-emotional Skills
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Base-ten blocks
Tools for creating a visual display
Materials to Copy
Centimeter Grid Paper - Standard
Launch
Groups of 2
“Where are some places that you see art in your community?”
30 seconds: quiet think time
Share responses.
“These problems are about a student visiting a local art festival. This is where local artists come to display and sell their work.”
Give students access to grid paper and base-ten blocks.
“Turn and talk to your partner about how you might solve these problems.”
1–2 minutes: partner discussion
Activity
“Solve these problems. Explain or show your reasoning.”
6–8 minutes: independent work time
As students work, consider asking:
“How can you represent your thinking about the problem?”
“Where can you see _____ in your work?”
Monitor for:
different ways that students use the area diagram in the third problem
students who represent the third problem in the same way to pair to create a poster together
“Now you are going to create a poster to show your thinking on the third problem. You are going to work with a partner who solved the problem in the same way you did.”
Give each group tools for creating a visual display.
6–8 minutes: partner work time
Student Facing
Solve each problem. Explain or show your reasoning.
Noah sees a large painted mural that has side lengths of 15 feet and 4 feet. What is the area of the mural?
Noah’s family buys a mosaic that has 12 rows and 8 columns of 1 inch tiles. What is the area of the mosaic?
At the art festival, Noah uses sidewalk chalk to help decorate a rectangular piece of sidewalk that is 6 feet by 14 feet. What is the area of the piece of sidewalk that Noah helped decorate?
At the art festival, Noah buys a pack of stickers. There are 5 sheets and each sheet has 16 stickers. How many stickers are in the pack?

Advancing Student Thinking
If students don’t find a solution to the problems, consider asking: “What is this problem about?” and “How could you represent the problem?”
Activity Synthesis
Display posters around the room.
