options: Recognize volume as an attribute of solid figures and understand concepts of volume measurement.

Measure volumes by counting unit cubes, using cubic cm, cubic in, cubic ft, and improvised units.

Relate volume to the operations of multiplication and addition and solve real world and mathematical problems involving volume.
problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this warm-up is for students to notice that figures composed of two right rectangular prisms can be decomposed in different ways which will be useful when students find the volume of figures composed of two right rectangular prisms in a later activity. While students may notice and wonder many things about these images, comparing the side lengths of the two figures is the important discussion point.

Activity Synthesis
“Do you think the pictures show the same figure? Why or why not?” (Yes, they look the same. Yes, I can use the given side lengths to calculate that they are the same.)
