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.

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.

Required Preparation
Materials to Gather
Number cards 0–10
Materials to Copy
Blackline Masters
How Close? Stage 9 Recording Sheet

Narrative
Before playing, students remove the cards that show 10 and set them aside.
Each student picks 6 cards and chooses 4 of them to create an addition expression with fractions. Each student adds their numbers and the student whose sum is closest to 5 wins a point for the round. Students pick new cards so that they have 6 cards in their hand and then start the next round.
Variation:
Students can choose a different number as the goal.
