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: Multiply one-digit whole numbers by multiples of 10 in the range 10–90 (e.g., 9 × 80, 5 × 60) using strategies based on place value and properties of operations.

Use place value understanding to round whole numbers to the nearest 10 or 100.

Fluently add and subtract within 1000 using strategies and algorithms based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to practice using the subtraction algorithm introduced in a previous lesson. Provide base-ten blocks for students who choose to use them to support their reasoning about the algorithm.
MLR8 Discussion Supports:
Synthesis: Before students share their reasoning, remind them to use words such as decompose, ones, tens, and hundreds.
Advances: Speaking, Representing
Engagement: Provide Access by Recruiting Interest.
Leverage choice around perceived challenge. Invite students to select at least 3 of 5 problems to complete.
Supports accessibility for: Organization, Attention, Social-emotional skills

Groups of 2
Display Kiran’s algorithm from the previous lesson.
“Here’s a subtraction algorithm you saw in an earlier lesson. What might be the first thing you’d do if you are to use this algorithm to find the value of the subtraction expressions in the activity?” (Write the numbers in expanded form and stack them.)
1 minute: quiet think time
Share responses.
Give students access to base-ten blocks.
Activity
“Take some quiet time to try this algorithm. Check in with your partner if you have questions.”
5–7 minutes: independent work time
If students have questions about the notation used to record the decomposition of a hundred or ten into more tens or ones, consider asking:
“Is there any place in the problem where you don’t have enough tens or ones?”
“How could you get more tens (or ones)?”
“How could you record a hundred being decomposed into 10 tens (or a ten decomposed into 10 ones)?”
Student Facing
Here is a subtraction algorithm you saw in an earlier lesson:

Advancing Student Thinking
If students do not record the multiple decompositions in the last problem, consider asking:
“What units did you need to decompose in this problem?”
“Where would it make the most sense to you to record how you decomposed a hundred into more tens? A ten into more ones?”
Activity Synthesis
Select students to share their reasoning for 2–3 problems. Choose problems to focus on based on common questions that came up. Be sure to discuss the last problem, which requires decompositions of both a ten and a hundred.
For the last problem, ask: “How did you decide how to record the ten and hundred that needed to be decomposed?” (I started subtracting the ones and decomposed a ten into 10 ones so I had already crossed off the 30 and written 20. When I decomposed the hundred into tens, I just decided to write the 120 on top of the 20 like I wrote the 20 on top of the 30.)
Record the completed algorithm, showing the decompositions of tens and hundreds.
Consider asking:
“Where were there not enough tens or ones to subtract?”
“What was decomposed and how was it recorded?”
“Did you notice any places where you might have made the error we saw in Lin's work?"
