I was working on a graphing task for first grade with color cubes and thought they would be a great prop for number patterns. This task addresses standard 1.OA.C.5: relating counting to addition and subtraction.
Act 1:
What do you notice? What do you wonder?
What comes next?
Act 2:
How many purple cubes will there be?
How many blue cubes will there be?
Act 3:
Share your strategies.
