Concept/skill: 
Compose two-dimensional shapes (rectangles, squares, trapezoids, triangles, half-circles, and quarter-circles) or three-dimensional shapes (cubes, right rectangular prisms, right circular cones, and right circular cylinders) to create a composite shape, and compose new shapes from the composite shape. (Students do not need to learn formal names such as “right rectangular prism.”)

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)


Answer: 
Yes. This activity asks students to compose three-dimensional shapes, using geoblocks, to create composite shapes.

standard_description: Write and evaluate numerical expressions involving whole-number exponents.
problem_activity: Task
The table below shows some input-output pairs of two functions $f$ and $g$ that agree for the values that are given but some of their output values are missing.
|  $t$   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
|--------|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $f(t)$ |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
| $g(t)$ |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |   |
Complete the table in a way so that $f$ could be invertible and so that $g$ is definitely not invertible.
Graph both functions and explain from the graph why $f$ is invertible and $g$ is not.
Come up with two real life situations that $f$ and $g$ could be representing.
Find and interpret the value $f^{-1}(4)$ in terms of these contexts.
