Recognize area as an attribute of plane figures and understand concepts of area measurement.

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: 
No. This activity does not teach students area as an attribute of plane figures. Instead, the activity focuses on solid, three-dimensional figures.

Now, determine whether the following problem or activity can enable students to understand the concepts or skills in the provided description.

standard_description: Understand that the probability of a chance event is a number between 0 and 1 that expresses the likelihood of the event occurring. Larger numbers indicate greater likelihood. A probability near 0 indicates an unlikely event, a probability around 1/2 indicates an event that is neither unlikely nor likely, and a probability near 1 indicates a likely event.

a.   Ms. Needham made a lasagna for dinner with her family. She cut the lasagna into 12 pieces. Her family ate 4 pieces of lasagna the night that she made it. The next day, they ate 3 more pieces. What fraction of the lasagna did Ms. Needham’s family eat altogether?
b.   Ms. Roll is stringing beads to make a 16-inch necklace. At the end of the first night of working on it, she has 5 inches of beads strung. At the end of the second night of working on it, she has another 7 inches of beads strung. What fraction of the necklace has Ms. Roll completed?
Problem 2
Solve. Show your work with an area model or a number line.
a.
