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.

standard_description: Use proportional relationships to solve multistep ratio and percent problems. Examples: simple interest, tax, markups and markdowns, gratuities and commissions, fees, percent increase and decrease, percent error.
problem_activity: Problem 1
At the store, you see oranges on sale at 1 pound for $3. At a different store, your brother sees oranges on sale at 3 pounds for $8.
Do the oranges cost the same at both stores? Which store offers the better deal? Justify your answer.
Problem 2
Callie biked 12 miles in 3 hours. Carter biked 10 miles in 2 hours.
Represent each person's trip with a double number line. Explain how you can see that they are not going the same speed.
Problem 3
Density is the relationship between the mass of an object and its volume, or amount of space it takes up. A scientist finds a rock and determines its mass to be 18 grams and its volume to be 4 cm
$$^{3}$$
. Another rock is found with a mass of 63 grams and a volume of 14 cm
$$^{3}$$
.
Draw two double number lines to compare the two rocks. Do the rocks have equivalent ratios of mass and volume? Do they have the same density?
