problem_activity: Activity
In this activity, students practice mentally dissecting a prism with a non-rectangular base into simpler prisms. The dissection corresponds to a dissection of the base into simpler figures. This expands on students’ ability to calculate the area of a base of a figure that has a rectangular base because here the base is not a rectangle. This prepares students to calculate the volume of this figure and other figures in future lessons.
As students work in their groups, monitor for the different ways students are decomposing or constructing the base of the figure into more familiar shapes.
Launch
Arrange students in groups of 3. Display the image for all to see throughout the activity. Tell students this is what the heart-shaped box mentioned in the task statement looks like.
[IMG]
Give students 2–3 minutes of quiet work time followed by a whole-class discussion.
Engagement: Internalize Self Regulation.
Check for understanding by inviting students to rephrase directions in their own words. Provide a project checklist that chunks the various steps of the activity into a set of manageable tasks.
Supports accessibility for: Organization; Attention
Conversing: MLR5 Co-Craft Questions.
Display the image of the heart-shaped box and initial task statement without revealing the questions that follow. Ask students to write mathematical questions about the situation. Invite students to share their questions with their group and choose 1 question from their group to share with the class. Listen for questions that connect to finding the area of the base of the heart-shaped prism (e.g., “What’s the most 1 inch by 1 inch by 1 inch chocolates that can fit along the bottom of the box?”). This helps students produce the language of mathematical questions and begin reasoning about different approaches for finding the area of a non-rectangular shape.
Design Principle(s): Cultivate conversation
Student Facing
A box of chocolates is a prism with a base in the shape of a heart and a height of 2 inches. Here are the measurements of the base.
[IMG]
To calculate the volume of the box, three different students have each drawn line segments showing how they plan on finding the area of the heart-shaped base.
[IMG]
For each student’s plan, describe the shapes the student must find the area of and the operations they must use to calculate the total area.
Although all three methods could work, one of them requires measurements that are not provided. Which one is it?
Between you and your partner, decide which of you will use which of the remaining two methods.
Using the quadrilaterals and triangles drawn in your selected plan, find the area of the base.
Trade with a partner and check each other’s work. If you disagree, work to reach an agreement.
Return their work. Calculate the volume of the box of chocolates.

Activity Synthesis
Select students to share whose method they decided to use and why. Ask students:
“Whose method could not be used? Why not?” (Lin’s, because we don’t know the base and  height of the trapezoids.)
“How did you find the areas of the base?”
“What was different about the base of this figure in comparison to other bases we have worked with?” (This base needs to be decomposed to calculate its area.)
“What was the first thing you did to find the volume?” (Use the area of the base and multiply it by the height of the figure.)
“Why would a chocolatier want to know the volume of a heart shaped box like this?” (He may want to know how many candies can fit inside of a box.)
Explain to students that they might encounter figures that have non-rectangular bases in future activities or lessons. It will be important for them to think about different strategies to calculate the area of the base.
