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.
Required Materials

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.

Now, assess whether the following problem or activity is 'aligned' with the given Common Core standard in Mathematics.

standard_description: Recognize and represent proportional relationships between quantities.
problem_activity: Activity
This activity requires students to work with larger numbers, which is intended to encourage students to use an equation and notice the efficiencies of doing so. It also emphasizes the interpretation of the constant of proportionality in the context. In this case, the constant represents the cost of a single ticket, and makes it easy to identify which singer would make more money for similar ticket sales in a concert series. Note that asking students to give the revenues for different ticket sales encourages looking for and expressing regularity in repeated reasoning (MP8). The last set of questions ask students to interpret the constant of proportionality as represented in an equation in terms of the context (MP2).
Monitor for students who solve the problems using the following strategies and invite them to share during the whole-class discussion.
writing many calculations, without any organization
creating a table to organize their results
writing an equation to encapsulate repeated reasoning
Launch
Provide access to calculators. Consider using the names of actual performers to make the task more interesting to students.
Representation: Internalize Comprehension.
Activate or supply background knowledge. Allow students to use calculators to ensure inclusive participation in the activity.

Activity Synthesis
Select student responses to be shared with the whole class in discussion. Sequence their explanations from less efficient and organized to more efficient and organized. Discuss how the solutions are the same and different, and the advantages and disadvantages of each method. An important part of this discussion is correspondences and connections between different approaches.
Speaking, Listening: MLR8 Discussion Supports.
Use this routine to support whole-class discussion. For each explanation that is shared, ask students to restate what they heard using precise mathematical language. Consider providing students time to restate what they heard to a partner before selecting one or two students to share with the class. Ask the original speaker if their peer was accurately able to restate their thinking. Call students' attention to any words or phrases that helped to clarify the original statement. This provides more students with an opportunity to produce language as they interpret the reasoning of others.
Design Principle(s): Support sense-making
