Problem Solving with Cubes

We tried to answer the question: "How many different objects can you make with five connecting cubes?" 




We practiced turning and flipping the objects to make sure they weren't the same as ones we already counted. When we brought our objects together as a class, we discovered there were more ways to connect the cubes than we thought! Each time we had an answer, we found another way. Our final answer was an "at least" answer, because we decided there were probably still more ways.
