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)

problem_activity: Problem 1
The value of the digit 7 in the number 17.48 is 10 times the value of the digit 7 in which number?
Problem 2
Sonya is trying to solve for the missing value in the equation 93.6 × _____ = 93,600. Sonya claims that the answer is 100 because there are two zeros at the end of 93,600 and multiplying by ten results in an extra 0 at the end of the number, so multiplying by 100 would results in two zeros at the end of the number.
Explain why Sonya’s reasoning is incorrect.
Find the correct solution. Show or explain your work.
