problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is to introduce stage 2 of the Connecting Cubes center. Students use connecting cubes to make objects pictured on cards. As they work, observe whether students match the connecting cubes to the image or count the number of connecting cubes in the image to create their own object (MP6).
Required Materials
Materials to Gather
Connecting cubes
Materials to Copy
Connecting Cubes Stage 2 Cards
Required Preparation
Create a set of cards from the blackline master for each group of 2.
Launch
Groups of 2
“We are going to look at a new center that you can choose during center choice time.”
Display the student book.
“How could you use connecting cubes with this picture?” (We can make things with our connecting cubes that look like the picture in the book.)
30 seconds: quiet think time
1 minute: partner discussion
Share responses.
Activity
Give each group of students connecting cubes and a set of cards.
Display the student page.
“Use your connecting cubes to build this object.”
