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)


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: Narrative
The purpose of this optional activity is for students to practice evaluating division expressions in order to make comparisons. Compare is a center that focuses on the procedural skills needed to solve single- and multi-step word problems. In this stage, students will use division to evaluate and compare quotients within 100.
This stage of the Compare center is used in grades 3, 4, and 5. When used in grade 3, remove the cards with two-digit divisors.
Required Materials
Materials to Copy
Compare Stage 4 Division Cards
Required Preparation
Create a set of cards from the blackline master for each group of 2. Remove the cards with two-digit divisors.
Launch
Groups of 2
Give each group of students a set of cards from the blackline master.
“Now let’s play Compare to practice what you learned about dividing numbers.”
“Take a minute to read the directions with your partner.”
1 minute: quiet think time
Answer any questions about the directions. If needed, play a turn with the class.
Activity
5–7 minutes: partner work time
If time permits, provide extra time to play Compare.
Student Facing
Play Compare with 2 players.
Shuffle the cards and
split the deck between the players.
Each player turns over a card.
Compare the values. The player with the greater value keeps both cards.
Play until you run out of cards. The player with the most cards at the end of the game wins.
