Abstract
(type = summary)
In the second clip in a series of seven from the seventh of seven interviews, 8th grader Stephanie first predicts the number of Unifix-cube towers with exactly three red cubes to be generated from the six towers with two red and two yellow cubes. In response to questions from researchers Carolyn Maher and Donna Weir, Stephanie predicts and then builds twelve towers from the six and identifies the four sets of three duplicate towers to produce the four unique towers with exactly three red cubes. Stephanie notes that the six towers with two of each color would be multiplied by 2 because of the two possible positions for the third red cube and the resulting 12 would be divided by 3 to account for the duplicates. She then focuses on the four towers with exactly one red cube and recognizes that each of these would produce a single tower with all four cubes yellow. Since the four would be the same, there would be only one such tower. Stephanie concludes by noting that this same process would produce a single tower with four red cubes from the four that she has built with exactly three red cubes.
The problems posed to Stephanie are:
Predict the number of towers with exactly three red cubes that would be generated from the six towers with two red and two yellow.
Confirm your prediction by building the towers and eliminating duplicates. How would you describe this process with numbers?
Predict the number of towers that would be produced moving from three of one color to all four of that color. How can you confirm that prediction?
