Topic options: 
A. Number & Operations - Fractions: students learn to understand fractions as numbers and may work with them using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
B. Operations & Algebra: students learn to solve problems using algebraic thinking and operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. They may learn to identify and explain arithmetic patterns, evaluate or manipulate numerical expressions, and reason with equations and inequalities.
C. Modeling: students learn to choose and use appropriate mathematics and statistics to analyze real-world empirical situations, improve decisions, and report on their conclusions and the reasoning behind them.
D. Number & Operations in Base Ten: students learn to work with the base-ten system and build place value understanding.
E. Ratios & Proportional Relationships: students learn to recognize, describe, represent, and reason with ratios, rates, proportional relationships, and percent.
F. Number Systems and Quantity: students learn to understand the complex number system and reason quantitatively.
G. Counting & Cardinality: students learn to know number names and the count sequence, count to tell the number of objects, and compare numbers.
H. Measurement & Data: students learn to work with data and measure attributes such as time, money, length, area, and volume. They may learn to compare measurements to operations and convert between different units of measure.
I. Geometry: students learn to classify geometric figures by their properties, and understand and compare the relationships between them. Students develop and use formulas to compute lengths, areas, and volumes, and they use transformations to generate new shapes and compare existing ones. Geometry can be studied with and without coordinates.
J. Functions: students learn to define, use, and evaluate functions to model relationships between quantities.
K. Statistics & Probability: students learn to analyze and produce data distributions, and build understanding of univariate and bivariate data. They learn to interpret data, make statistical inferences, justify conclusions, understand rules of probability, and use probability to make decisions.

problem_activity: Narrative
The goal of this activity is to represent expressions as decompositions of a figure made of two non-overlapping right rectangular prisms. This gives students an opportunity to interpret parentheses in expressions while also checking their understanding of different ways to represent the volume of rectangular prism; namely, length times width times height and area of a base times the corresponding height.
Students work abstractly and quantitatively in this problem (MP2) as they relate abstract expressions to decompositions of figures composed of two rectangular prisms.
MLR7 Compare and Connect.
Invite students to think about details they can include that will help others understand their thinking. For example, specific language, using different colors, shading, arrows, labels, notes, diagrams or drawings. Give students time to investigate each others’ work. During the whole-class discussion, ask, “What kinds of details or language helped you understand your partner’s work?”

“Look at the first figure and think about how you might decompose it into 2 prisms.”
1 minute: quiet think time
“Now you will consider how different expressions can represent the volume of figures.”

break up the figure and use this to identify the expressions.
Student Facing
Explain how each expression represents the volume of the figure. Show your thinking. Organize it so it can be followed by others.
\(((2 \times 3) \times4) + ((3 \times 3) \times 2)\)
\((5 \times 6) + (3 \times 4)\)

Advancing Student Thinking
If students do not describe how the expressions represent the volume of the figure, show them part of the expression, the numbers inside the parentheses for example, and ask them to explain which part of the figure is represented.
Activity Synthesis
Invite students to share how the expressions for the first prism represent its volume.
“Why are there 3 factors in the expression
\((2 \times 3) \times 4)\)
but only 2 factors in the expression
\((5 \times 6)\)
?” (The 2, 3, and 4 are the length, width, and height of the prism in the back. The 5 is the height of the prism on bottom whose base area is 6.)
“In the expression
\((3 \times 3) \times 2\)
, what do the parentheses tell you?” (They tell me to first multiply 3 times 3, which gives me the area of the base, and then I multiply that by 2 to get the volume of the prism.)
