Painted Cube

Today in Math we explored the following question:

Painted Cube

Paint all the sides of a 3 x 3 x 3 cube. Once it is dry take it apart into its 1 x 1 x 1 unit cubes. How many of these unit cubes have paint on three faces? Two faces? One face? No faces? Explore for 4 x 4 x 4, etc.

We all worked well in our groups, approaching the task and explaining our work in so many different ways. Please ask me: What was my group's strategy? How did the answers change as the cube's dimensions increased? What answer won't change, regardless of the size of the cube? Why?
