Building towers of 5 cubes. How many can we build in 2 minutes? 
Ready, set, go!

How many towers did we make altogether?
84 towers!
How many cubes did we use? 
Here's what your great math learners said:
"We can count them all. 1.2.3..."
"We can count by fives since a tower has five."
"A 5 tower and a 5 tower is 10!"
"We can count by tens!"
420 cubes!
