Question # 1.<\/span> You are building cubes that require 4, 18" squares and 2, 18 1\/2" squares. If each piece of plywood can be cut into either 8, 18" squares or 4 18" squares and 4 18 1\/2" squares, how many sheets of plywood do you need to create an even number of cubes with no left over squares?<\/p>\n

Answer<\/span>: three sheets of plywood.<\/p>\n

Question # 2.<\/span> Identify all the parts of the following sentence. I DON"T RUN WITH SHARP OBJECTS.<\/p>\n

Answer<\/span>: Pronoun Adverb Verb Preposition Adjective Noun<\/p>\n

Question # 3.<\/span> What does question number 2 have to do with Critter Cubes?<\/p>\n

Answer<\/span>: Each Critter Cube has part of a sentence painted on it. The goal is to make sure no matter which side of the cube is turned, the sentence still makes sense. By understanding the sentence structure, I was able to easily swap out words.<\/p>\n

                                      \"\"<\/a>
\nNote the painted word LIKE in the top left hand corner<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Here, you try it. Swap out the preposition WITH<\/span> from the above sentence with any other preposition.<\/h1>\n

Here are a few prepositions to choose from: WITHOUT, ON, UNDER, THROUGH, FROM.<\/p>\n

I DON"T RUN WITH SHARP OBJECTS.
\n <\/h1>\n

I DON"T RUN WITHOUT SHARP OBJECTS.
\n <\/h1>\n

I DON"T RUN ON SHARP OBJECTS.
\n <\/h1>\n

I DON"T RUN UNDER SHARP OBJECTS.
\n <\/h1>\n

I DON"T RUN THROUGH SHARP OBJECTS.
\n <\/h1>\n

I DON"T RUN FROM SHARP OBJECTS.<\/p>\n

Wasn’t that fun?!<\/p>\n

The first two Critter Cubes made a brief cameo in downtown Wake Forest yesterday. The board members of the GJCAE<\/a> had an opportunity to test out the cubes. It was like show and tell for big people.<\/p>\n

The mission of the GJCAE is promoting the arts in the Triangle community.<\/p>\n
