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.

standard_description: Understand a rational number as a point on the number line. Extend number line diagrams and coordinate axes familiar from previous grades to represent points on the line and in the plane with negative number coordinates.
problem_activity: Problem 1
The data table below shows the weight of a typical male greyhound, a breed of dog, during the first 28 months of his life. Graph the corresponding points, then connect the points in the order they are given to form a line graph.
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"align": "center", "class": ["table", "table-bordered"], "style": "table-layout:fixed; width:30%"}, "tbody": [{"tr": [{"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "background-color:#eeeeee; text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Age (in months)"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "background-color:#eeeeee; text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Weight (in pounds)"}]}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "0"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "4"}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "4"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "30"}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "8"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "55"}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "12"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "66"}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "16"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "69"}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "20"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "72"}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "24"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "72"}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "28"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "72"}]}]}]}]}
What do you notice? What do you wonder?
Problem 2
Using the information about a typical male greyhound’s weight from Anchor Task #1, answer the following questions.
How much does a typical male greyhound weigh when he is born?
What does the coordinate pair (12, 66) mean in the context of this graph?
How much weight does the typical male greyhound gain in the first 4 months of his life? How do you know? What about between 4 months and 8 months? How do you know?
How long does it take the typical male greyhound to grow from 55 to 72 pounds?
Challenge: When does the typical male greyhound gain weight the fastest? How do you know? What about the slowest?
Problem 3
Using the information about the typical male greyhound’s weight from Anchor Task #1, answer the following questions.
How heavy do you think a typical male greyhound gets? How do you know from the graph?
At what age do male greyhounds reach their full weight? Why?
How heavy do you think a typical female greyhound gets? Why?
