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.
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)


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 is 'aligned' with the given Common Core standard in Mathematics.

Complete the table below. Is $\Delta x$ a constant?  If so, what constant is it? What do you notice about the 3rd column of the table?
{"table": [{"tbody": [{"tr": [{"th": [{"_value": "$x$"}, {"_value": "$f(x)=128\\cdot \\left({\\frac {1}{2}}\\right)^x$"}, {"_value": "Successive quotients"}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "0"}, {"_value": "128"}, {"_value": "----"}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "1"}, {"_value": "64"}, {"_value": "$\\frac{f(1)}{f(0)}=\\frac {64}{128} = \\frac{1}{2}$"}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "2"}, {}, {"_value": "$\\frac{f(2)}{f(1)}=$"}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "3"}, {}, {}]}, {"td": [{"_value": "4"}, {}, {}]}]}]}]}

Let $f(x)=a \cdot b^x$. Let $x_0$ be any particular $x$-value. Show that if $x_0$ is increased by a constant, $\Delta x$, the successive quotient  $$\frac{f(x_0+ \Delta x)}{f(x_0)}$$ is always the same no matter what $x_0$ is.
Is b) an example of the result of c)? Explain.
