Material Geo Cubes
? The exercises on this page are a
continuation of finding patterns and the
12 cubes number of cubes from the previous page,
but are more complicated. Students will
? now work with more rows and layers, with
the objective of increasing the number of
25 cubes cubes in an orderly pattern.
Have students continue playing the game
from the previous page.
If students are confused, do the first
problem on this page as an example.
How many cubes are added in each
configuration? Three: one on each end of
the horizontal row and one on top of the
vertical column.
How many cubes are there in the fourth
figure? 12.
?
35 cubes
11. Chess Cubes 103
Construct a Pyramid 5A Unit 11 165
Build upon adding cubes in a progressive manner using the third group of
figures at the bottom of this page, but have students combine their cubes to
construct a whole pyramid. The drawing shows only a quarter of a pyramid.
How many cubes will be needed to make a whole pyramid? If 35 cubes
were used in the model, it will it take four times as many for the complete
diamond. That would be 140 cubes, but is this right? Tell students how they
arrange cubes at the top of the diamond will make a difference.
Will the top be four cubes placed together in a layer or will a single cube
top the diamond? If a single cube tops the diamond, then the diamond will
take 141 cubes.
