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)

problem_activity: Warm-up
The purpose of this activity is for students to practice sketching spheres and labeling the radius and diameter of the sphere.
Launch
Give students 1–2 minutes of quiet work time, followed by a whole-class discussion.
Student Facing
Here is a method for quickly sketching a sphere:
Draw a circle.
Draw an oval in the middle whose edges touch the sphere.
[IMG]
Practice sketching some spheres. Sketch a few different sizes.
For each sketch, draw a radius and label it
\(r\)

Activity Synthesis
Invite students to share their sketches. Ask students to share what the diameter would look like if they did not already draw one in. Remind students that sketches can be used to help visualize a problem where an image might not be provided. In today’s lesson, they will be working with activities that might or might not have images provided and they should sketch or label any images provided to use as a tool to help understand the problem thoroughly.
