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:
{
  "explanation": "This activity asks students to compose three-dimensional shapes, using geoblocks, to create composite shapes.",
  "answer": "C"

options: Mentally add 10 or 100 to a given number 100–900, and mentally subtract 10 or 100 from a given number 100–900.

Add up to four two-digit numbers using strategies based on place value and properties of operations.

Explain why addition and subtraction strategies work, using place value and the properties of operations. (Explanations may be supported by drawings or objects.)

Add and subtract within 1000, using concrete models or drawings and strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction; relate the strategy to a written method. Understand that in adding or subtracting three-digit numbers, one adds or subtracts hundreds and hundreds, tens and tens, ones and ones; and sometimes it is necessary to compose or decompose tens or hundreds.

Fluently add and subtract within 100 using strategies 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 interpret and compare representations that show decomposing a ten to subtract by place. One student shows decomposing a ten by crossing off a ten and drawing 10 ones. The other representation shows a student who begins their drawing with a ten decomposed into 10 ones. Students compare and make connections between the representations and a set of equations that also shows how to find the value of the difference (MP3).

. Advances: conversing, reading, writing
Representation: Internalize Comprehension.
Invite students to identify which details were most useful from each strategy to solve the problem. Display the sentence frame, “The next time I have a subtraction task, I will look for . . . .“ Encourage decomposition, drawing pictures or using manipulatives as the main strategies.

Materials to Gather
Base-ten blocks
Launch
Groups of 2
Give students access to base-ten blocks.
Activity
“Diego and Elena drew base-ten diagrams to find the value of
\(82-9\)
.”
“Think about what is the same or different on your own. Then, discuss your ideas with your partner.”
1 minute: quiet think time
2
–
3 minutes: partner discussion
MLR2 Collect and Display
Circulate, listen for, and collect the language students use to describe the diagrams and how the ten is decomposed. Listen for: break apart a ten, decompose, tens, need more ones.
Record students’ words and phrases on a visual display and update it throughout the lesson.
Share responses. Consider asking:
“Did Diego and Elena find the same value for
\(82-9\)
? How do you know?”
“What is the difference between their diagrams?”
“Tyler found the value by using equations. Diego says Tyler’s equations match his diagram. Elena says the equations match her diagram. Who do you agree with?”
2 minutes: independent work time
4 minutes: partner discussion
Monitor for students who agree with Diego, Elena, or both and can explain their reasoning with connections to the diagrams.
Student Facing
Diego and Elena drew base-ten diagrams to find the value of
\(82-9\)
.
Diego
[IMG]
Elena
[IMG]
Compare Deigo’s work to Elena’s.
What is the same?
What is different?
Tyler used equations to show his thinking.
\(82 - 9\)
\(82 = 70 + 12\)
\(12 - 9 = 3\)
\(70 + 3 = 73\)
Diego says Tyler’s work matches his diagram.
Elena says Tyler’s work matches her diagram.
Who do you agree with? Explain.

Advancing Student Thinking
Some students may only recognize 82 as 8 tens and 2 ones. Consider asking:
“What was the value of Elena’s blocks before she started subtracting? Explain.”
“How could you make 82 with base-ten blocks if you only had 7 tens?” Allow students to share how they could represent 82 with 7 tens and 12 ones.
Activity Synthesis
Invite previously identified students to share.
“Diego, Elena, and Tyler saw they needed more ones before they could subtract ones from ones. They showed decomposing a ten in different ways.”
Display the list of words and phrases recorded during the activity.
“Here are some of the words we used to describe subtracting by place.”
“Are there any other words or phrases that are important to include on our display?”
As students share responses, update the display, by adding (or replacing) language, diagrams, or annotations.
Remind students to borrow language from the display as needed.
