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

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.
