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: Directly compare two objects with a measurable attribute in common, to see which object has “more of”/“less of” the attribute, and describe the difference. For example, directly compare the heights of two children and describe one child as taller/shorter.

Describe measurable attributes of objects, such as length or weight. Describe several measurable attributes of a single object.
problem_activity: Task
Materials:
Sheets of paper for each student that are folded in half with the words "Heavier" and "Lighter" written at the top of each side.
[IMG]
A box of large blocks.
A box of different objects with different weights to compare with a block from the first box. Some should be lighter than a single block and some should be heavier. The weight differences should be fairly pronounced.
Action:
The students begin by choosing a block that they will use to compare with other objects.
Students will then choose an item from the second box and compare its weight to their block. They then draw a picture of it under "Heavier" or "Lighter" depending which applies. They continue to choose objects from the box to measure against their block until they have two or three drawings on each side of their sheet.
