Geo Cubes
2. When the teacher says “start,” find the
pattern. Make the figure that comes next
with geo cubes. Find the number of cubes
used.
1. Divide students into teams with geo cubes. 3. When you complete the pattern, raise your hand. Show the teacher
your pattern and how many cubes are used. The first team that
completes the pattern using the correct number of cubes wins.
Have them build stacks in the pattern shown
in the example, then ask them to figure out
how many cubes would be needed for the
fourth configuration, and then tell them to ?

2. Build Understanding
In this problem, the first thing students need to do is find the pattern. In this case
it is squares. Starting with the first cube, students need to determine how many
cubes must be added to make the next square. In the second drawing, they must
add three cubes to make a square. In the third drawing, they must add five
cubes: three on top and two on one side. Students then need to determine how
many more cubes are added each time.
How many cubes are needed for the next larger shape? If two are added each
time, the next progression would be seven cubes added, for a total of 16 cubes.
