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.

standard_description: Relate volume to the operations of multiplication and addition and solve real world and mathematical problems involving volume.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to convert between measurements in milliliters and liters, providing practice multiplying and dividing by 1,000. Students work with numbers in many forms including whole numbers, decimals, fractions, and numbers in exponential form.
Engagement: Internalize Self-Regulation.
Synthesis: Provide students an opportunity to self-assess and reflect on their own progress. For example, provide students with a partially completed chart to compare their answers and talk about the similarities and differences with their partners.

“What do you notice? What do you wonder?” (There are different sized water bottles. There are numbers underneath the water bottles. How much more water does the big one hold than the little one? How many milliliters are in a liter?)
Display a table like this one:
|  L  |   mL    |
|-----|---------|
|  1  |  1,000  |
| 10  |         |
| 0.1 |         |
|     | 100,000 |
|     |   10    |
“What numbers go in the empty boxes in the table?”
30 seconds quiet think time
“Explain your thinking to a partner.”
Fill in the table and leave it displayed for students to refer to during the lesson.
|  L   |   mL    |
|------|---------|
|  1   |  1,000  |
|  10  | 10,000  |
| 0.1  |   100   |
| 100  | 100,000 |
| 0.01 |   10    |
Activity
3–5 minutes: independent work time
1–2 minutes: partner discussion
Monitor for students who:
compare the quantities by converting milliliters to liters
compare by converting liters to milliliters

Advancing Student Thinking
If students confuse the operations they need to use to convert milliliters to liters or liters to milliliters, refer to the table from the launch and ask, “What patterns do you notice?”
If necessary, add rows to the table and ask them to explain how many milliliters of water are in 2 liters of water and 3 liters of water, and 0.001 liter of water.
Activity Synthesis
Invite selected students to share how they compared the measurements.
Display: 15,600 mL and 15.5 L
“How many liters are 15,600 milliliters? How do you know?” (15.6 since I divide by 1,000)
“How many milliliters are 15.5 liters? How do you know?” (15,500 since there are 1,000 milliliters in each liter so that’s 15,000 and half of a thousand which is 500.)
“Which is greater? 15,600 milliliters or 15.5 liters? How do you know?” (15,600 mL because I can compare them using either liters or milliliters.)
“When you solved this problem, did you convert from milliliters to liters or from liters to milliliters? Why?” (I converted from liters to milliliters because multiplying by 1,000 is more comfortable than dividing by 1,000.)
