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)


Topic options: 
A. Geometry: students learn to classify geometric figures by their properties, and understand and compare the relationships between them. Students develop and use formulas to compute lengths, areas, and volumes, and they use transformations to generate new shapes and compare existing ones. Geometry can be studied with and without coordinates.
B. Modeling: students learn to choose and use appropriate mathematics and statistics to analyze real-world empirical situations, improve decisions, and report on their conclusions and the reasoning behind them.
C. Number & Operations - Fractions: students learn to understand fractions as numbers and may work with them using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
D. Counting & Cardinality: students learn to know number names and the count sequence, count to tell the number of objects, and compare numbers.
E. Functions: students learn to define, use, and evaluate functions to model relationships between quantities.
F. Number & Operations in Base Ten: students learn to work with the base-ten system and build place value understanding.
G. Statistics & Probability: students learn to analyze and produce data distributions, and build understanding of univariate and bivariate data. They learn to interpret data, make statistical inferences, justify conclusions, understand rules of probability, and use probability to make decisions.
H. Ratios & Proportional Relationships: students learn to recognize, describe, represent, and reason with ratios, rates, proportional relationships, and percent.
I. Measurement & Data: students learn to work with data and measure attributes such as time, money, length, area, and volume. They may learn to compare measurements to operations and convert between different units of measure.
J. Number Systems and Quantity: students learn to understand the complex number system and reason quantitatively.
K. Operations & Algebra: students learn to solve problems using algebraic thinking and operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. They may learn to identify and explain arithmetic patterns, evaluate or manipulate numerical expressions, and reason with equations and inequalities.

problem_activity: Problem 1
Josie makes 1.7 liters of lemonade. Josie’s mom tells her to split it evenly with her brother. How much lemonade, in liters, will Josie and her brother each get?
Problem 2
Here is how Mai used base-ten diagrams to calculate 0.62 ÷ 5. She started by representing 0.62.
[IMG]
She then made 5 groups, each with 1 tenth. There was 1 tenth left. She unbundled it into 10 hundredths and distributed the hundredths into 5 groups. Here is her diagram for 0.62 ÷ 5.
[IMG]
Mai should have a total of 12 hundredths, but her diagram shows only 10. Why?
She did not originally have thousandths, but in her diagrams each group has 4 thousandths. Why?
What value has Mai found for 0.62 ÷ 5?
Problem 3
Here is how Lin calculated 0.62 ÷ 5.
|                 Lin wrote the dividend, 0.62, and the divisor, 5.                  | She subtracted 5 groups of different amounts from 0.62, starting with 5 groups of 0.10, then 5 groups of 0.02. |                Lin wrote 0 to the right of the 2, which made 0.020.                | Lastly, she subtracted 5 times 0.004 from 0.020, which left no remainder.                          Then she added 0.100 + 0.020 + 0.004, which gave a quotient of 0.124. |

Lin put a 0 after the remainder of 0.02. Why? Why does this 0 not change the value of the quotient?
What value did Lin find for 0.62 ÷ 5?
