standard:
Act 1
Watch the video:
- What do you notice and what do you wonder?

Act 2
What do you need to know? What information would you like to help you out?
Act 3
The reveal:
Act 4 (sequel)
- Can you identify a rule that would tell you how many cubes there would be in the 10th structure? How about the 50 Structure? Write an expression to solve for any stage.
- Is there a pattern with the shape of each structure? If so what shape would the 83rd structure be?
- What would the stage before the 1st stage look like? How many cubes would it have? Can it be expressed as an exponent? (Answer: Act 4 Sequel)
