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)


Concept/skill: 
Recognize area as an attribute of plane figures and understand concepts of area measurement.

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.

problem_activity: Task
Pia was having a party. She put 10 stickers in each party bag.
On the first day she made 10 bags. How many stickers were in her 10 bags all together?
On the second day she made 3 more bags with ten stickers in each one. How many stickers total were in her 10 bags plus 3 more bags?
On the third day she made 7 more bags with ten stickers in each one. How many stickers total are in her 20 bags of ten?
On the fourth day, she made another 10 bags with ten stickers in each one. How many stickers are in her 30 bags of ten?
After one week, she had made a total of 50 bags with ten stickers in each one. How many stickers total are in her 50 bags of ten?
