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)


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: Describe qualitatively the functional relationship between two quantities by analyzing a graph (e.g., where the function is increasing or decreasing, linear or nonlinear). Sketch a graph that exhibits the qualitative features of a function that has been described verbally.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to describe and draw shapes. Students work in pairs to describe and draw a mystery shape. Students learn that they need to be precise in describing the shape in order for their partner to draw the shape accurately and have opportunities to use the language they have learned to describe shape attributes (MP6). There are also some shapes that students have not been introduced to the formal names of. Students can describe the attributes of these shapes but are not expected to name the shapes.
MLR8 Discussion Supports.
Invite students to begin partner interactions by repeating the partner’s description before drawing it. For example, “your shape has 3 sides and 3 corners.” This gives both students an opportunity to produce language.
Advances: Conversing
Action and Expression: Internalize Executive Functions.
Students might need quiet think time to come up with words they will use to describe the shape they picked. Ask students to give their partners time in between turns to think of words.
Supports accessibility for: Conceptual Processing, Language
Launch
Display the student book.
“In the last activity, we used dot paper. What is different about this dot paper?” (There are no red dots.)
Share responses.
“Draw lines on the dot paper to make some shapes.”
2 minutes: independent work time
“Today we’re going to play a new game called ‘Draw the Mystery Shape’. One partner will choose a shape and describe it. The other partner will draw the shape.”
“Let’s try it. I’m going to describe a shape. Draw the shape that I describe on the dot paper.”
“This shape has 3 sides and 3 corners.”
30 seconds: independent work time
“Did you and your partner draw the same shape?” (No. We drew shapes with 3 sides but they don’t look the same.)
Draw or display:

“This was the shape I wanted you to draw. What else could I have said about the shape to help you know what to draw?” ( It is skinny. It is pointing to the side. Two sides are long and one side is short.)
Activity
“Pick a shape but don’t tell your partner which shape you picked. Tell your partner all about the shape so they can draw it.”
8 minutes: partner work time
