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

Now, assign the following problem or activity to one or more relevant standards it aligns with.

options: For any number from 1 to 9, find the number that makes 10 when added to the given number, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record the answer with a drawing or equation.

Solve addition and subtraction word problems, and add and subtract within 10, e.g., by using objects or drawings to represent the problem.

Fluently add and subtract within 5.

Decompose numbers less than or equal to 10 into pairs in more than one way, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record each decomposition by a drawing or equation (e.g., 5 = 2 + 3 and 5 = 4 + 1).

Represent addition and subtraction with objects, fingers, mental images, drawings (Drawings need not show details, but should show the mathematics in the problem. (This applies wherever drawings are mentioned in the Standards.)), sounds (e.g., claps), acting out situations, verbal explanations, expressions, or equations.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this warm-up is to elicit the idea that expressions and equations can be used to represent different compositions and decompositions of 10, which will be useful when students match compositions and decompositions of 10 to equations in a later activity. While students may notice and wonder many things about these images and expressions, the fact that each image and expression represents a total of 10 is the important discussion point. Students have seen equations in previous lessons, but the synthesis is the first time that students are introduced to the term
equation

Activity Synthesis
“What is the same about each expression?” (They are all 10.)
Write
\(10 = 7 + 3\)
.
“There are 10 counters, 7 red counters and 3 yellow counters. We can write that as 10 is 7 plus 3. When we write
\(10 = 7 + 3\)
, it is called an
equation
.”
Repeat the steps with the next 2 images.
