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)


Standard options: 
A. Partition circles and rectangles into two and four equal shares, describe the shares using the words halves, fourths, and quarters, and use the phrases half of, fourth of, and quarter of. Describe the whole as two of, or four of the shares. Understand for these examples that decomposing into more equal shares creates smaller shares.
B. Distinguish between defining attributes (e.g., triangles are closed and three-sided) versus non-defining attributes (e.g., color, orientation, overall size); build and draw shapes to possess defining attributes.
C. Compose two-dimensional shapes (rectangles, squares, trapezoids, triangles, half-circles, and quarter-circles) or three-dimensional shapes (cubes, right rectangular prisms, right circular cones, and right circular cylinders) to create a composite shape, and compose new shapes from the composite shape. (Students do not need to learn formal names such as “right rectangular prism.”)


Your response:
Thought: This activity asks students to compose three-dimensional shapes, using geoblocks, to create composite shapes.
Answer: C

options: Understand that a function is a rule that assigns to each input exactly one output. The graph of a function is the set of ordered pairs consisting of an input and the corresponding output. (Function notation is not required in Grade 8.)

Compare properties of two functions each represented in a different way (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables, or by verbal descriptions). For example, given a linear function represented by a table of values and a linear function represented by an algebraic expression, determine which function has the greater rate of change.

Interpret the equation y = mx + b as defining a linear function, whose graph is a straight line; give examples of functions that are not linear. For example, the function A = s2 giving the area of a square as a function of its side length is not linear because its graph contains the points (1,1), (2,4) and (3,9), which are not on a straight line.
problem_activity: At a local bank, when you open an account, you provide certain information that is stored in the bank's records. The table below shows the names and mailing zip codes of some of the bank's customers.
| **           Customer Name          ** | **           Zip Code          ** |
|----------------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
|             Tyler Jackson              |               70114               |
|            Justine Goodman             |               12084               |
|             Tristan Manuel             |               30311               |

a.   Suppose
F
is the rule that takes a customer's name and provides their mailing zip code. According to the information in this table, is
F
a function? Explain your reasoning.
b.   Suppose
G
is the rule that takes a customer's mailing zip code and provides their name. According to the information in this table, is
G
a function? Explain your reasoning.
c.   If the bank is looking for a way to identify specific customers, why would using their zip code
not
be a good way to do this? What other input might the bank use instead?
