If the base-ten blocks represent the first four powers
of 10, what will the first four powers of 2 look like?
Use centicubes to construct 3-D models. Use your models to explain the shape and size of the fifth and sixth powers of 2. Sketch a diagram of the six models, labelling the dimensions, and write the total number of centicubes used in each. How will models representing the powers of 3 be like the models you have sketched? How will they be different? | ||||||

Hexagonal work tables can be separated into
half-tables that are trapezoidal in shape. James wants to make some hexagonal work tables. He has 13 half-tables.
How many work tables can he make? Use pattern blocks to represent the trapezoidal and hexagonal tables and solve the problem. Draw a diagram of your solution. Use this model to explain how | ||||||

Dennis linked 10 cubes together in this order:
What colours are described by these ratios? 2:8 4:1 8:10 Suppose Dennis continued the pattern to cover a 10 x 10 grid. How would the ratios change? Use percent to describe:
Would it be true to write the following about the yellow area? 20% = 0.20 = Explain. Draw and colour a 5-cube train. Describe the colours in different mathematical ways. | ||||||
