Goal: Think like a mathematician! Looking for repetition in the way you build, then generalize the regularity.

Webinar Productive Struggle: Mathematical Discourse for All
It can be frustrating when you ask a question in class and receive no response or when you try to facilitate a discussion, and no one participates. If you’ve experienced this, you may be interested in the upcoming webinar on Mathematical Discourse for all. Click here for more info and to register.

We did this as our second lesson (following Eric the sheep). I gave the students both 1 cm grid paper as well as unified cubes to build and represent. Most students could build before they could explain. Some gravitated toward the graphic representation first. Many students recognized the repetition quickly~and this was a helpful exercise to talk about generalizing the repetition. Meta reflections were stronger than before, with a few outliers.
