This may be the students' first experience with Tricubes, so the early questions are to familiarise them with measurements related to them. The volume of a Tricube doesn't change. It is always 3 unit cubes. The surface area doesn't change either. It is always 14 unit squares. However the base area changes depending on how the object is placed on the table. If you want students to explore these measurements further then at some stage they should try Task 193, Surface Area with Tricubes. (It is possible to stand the Tricube so it has a surface area of zero. Try standing it to make an 'arch'.)

Bulletspace mac os. The challenge in this problem really begins with Questions 6 & 7. Putting four Tricubes together to make a 'tricube' is not necessarily straightforward for some students, especially after making their own shapes in Question 5, but they will get it eventually. However, what they make with four Tricubes is not really a Tricube. One dimension has not been doubled, so it is not proportional, or alternatively, not made from three cubes in the same sense as a Size 1 Tricube is.
The Size 2 Tricube actually looks like this:
It shows that 8 Tricubes make a Tricube
But now we have a new Tricube. So what do we know? We know 8 Tricubes make a Tricube and that leads us to the next size, Size 4.
The task doesn't supply enough Tricubes to make this - let's face it, 64 Tricubes wouldn't fit in the bag - but they do have enough to make one 'slice' and hence imagine the Size 4 object.
Imagining the next size can lead to significant brain-ache. It will be Size 8 and will have eight slices. The length and width (or, using the photo, length and height) will be doubled, so just one slice would need 64 Tricubes. Students might like to join a pages of square dot paper together and try to sketch out a bird's eye view of how they would fit together to make the slice. Or they might cut out Trisquares and build the same view in a similar way to the student work in Task 238, Growing Trisquares.
So clearly there is a visual pattern here. And wherever there is a visual pattern there will be a number pattern and vice versa. For each size of Tricube (placed as on the card) its base perimeter, base area, surface area, number of unit Tricubes, or volume in unit cubes can be counted. Choosing whichever of these is appropriate to you students will produce one of the columns in this table.
Size | Base Per. | Base Area | Surf. Area | No. Tricubes | Volume |
1 | 8 | 3 | 14 | 1 | 3 |
2 | 16 | 12 | 56 | 8 | 24 |
4 | 32 | 48 | 224 | 64 | 192 |
8 | .. | .. | .. | .. | .. |
Younger students can find number patterns going down (although Surface Area is a bit tricky). Older students can find number pairs where the first number is S, for Size, and depending on which column it is paired with the result will be a linear, quadratic or cubic function.
The table also begs the question: What happened to Size 3?.
It suggests that if Size 3 did exist, it would need 27 Tricubes to make it. So students again don't have enough Tricubes to make the object. Or do they.. with a little imagination combined with some mathematics?
If the Size 3 can be made the 27 Tricubes might be equally distributed among the three cubic sections of it. That would mean nine Tricubes per section. Nine Tricubes have a volume of 27 unit cubes and 27 is a cube number. The students do have enough Tricubes to find out whether or not nine Tricubes can make a cube. And if they can, then it must be possible to make the Size 3 Tricube in at least one way.
And there are other ways to make Size 3. For example:

Now there is reason to expand the table .. and for those with graphic calculators (or graph paper will do) to do a little interpolation. Extrapolation too, for the next questions are surely about Sizes 5, 6 & 7 which might exist between Sizes 4 and 8.
