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

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.

You are in a diner and want to know if choosing cream or sugar are independent events, that is, if one depends on the other. Below is a Venn diagram that represents the number of people in the diner one morning. A random person is chosen.

Is this random person more likely to have cream in his coffee if he has sugar? Calculate the probability.

Problem 2
A coin is tossed and a single six-sided die is rolled. If landing on heads is represented by
$$H$$
and rolling a
$$3$$
is represented by
$$R$$
, determine if the following is true:
$$P(H \space and \space 3)=P(H)\cdot P(3)$$


aligns: no
