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.”

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: Recognize that in a multi-digit whole number, a digit in one place represents ten times what it represents in the place to its right. For example, recognize that 700 ÷ 70 = 10 by applying concepts of place value and division.
Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to whole numbers less than or equal to 1,000,000.
problem_activity: Narrative
In this warm-up, students practice estimating a reasonable answer using known information, rounding, and multiplicative reasoning strategies. For example, students may create a diagram and arrive at
\(7 \times 7 \times 7 \times 7\)
as an estimate of the number of fish. Then, they may approximate
\((7 \times 7) \times (7 \times 7)\)
with
\(50 \times 50\)
, or estimate
\((7 \times 7 \times 7) \times 7\)
with
\((50 \times 7) \times 7\)
or
\(350 \times 7\)
. Some students may notice that the question is vague and asks, “How many are going to the park?” rather than “How many people are going to the park?” and account only for the number of children and teachers in their estimation. If students ask for clarification, ask them to make their own assumptions and explain why they made those assumptions when they share their estimates.

Activity
“What is an estimate that’s too high? Too low? About right?”
2 minutes: quiet think time
1 minute: partner discussion
Record responses.
Student Facing
Seven teachers are going to the park.
Each teacher is taking 7 students.
Each student is bringing 7 fishbowls.
Each fishbowl has 7 fish.

How many are going to the park?
Record an estimate that is:
|                    too low                     |                  about right                   |                    too high                    |

Activity Synthesis
Consider asking:
“Is anyone’s estimate less than 500? Greater than 5,000?”
“Did anyone include the number of teachers and students in their estimate?”
Invite students to share their estimation strategies. After each explanation, ask if others reasoned the same way.
Consider revealing the actual value of 2,457 teachers, students, and fish.
