| Description: | Given the front view and side view of some cubes, students are asked what the largest number of cubes can be used to make the arrangement and what the smallest number of cubes would be. A link to Space Blocks, a Java applet from the National Library of Virtual Manipulatives, is provided to help students think about the possible arrangements.
Students are invited to use the link "Submit your answer" to share their solutions, and then "self-mentor" using specially designed hints, checks, and suggestions for extensions. Spanish version also available |
