Tuesday: Count the pieces

Rocket takes the tower apart and builds a bridge.

"I think I lost some blocks," he worries.

Raven counts them one by one. "What do you notice?"

"Still ten!" Rocket cheers.

Nova blinks. "I found a pattern. The shape changed, but the pieces stayed."

You can count them before and after.

The number of pieces stays the same.
