What’s on the bottom of the cube?

ObservationsLook through my observations below. ★If you have the same observation written in your notebook, place a checkmark beside it.★ If you don’t have one listed, add it to the observations

My Conclusion:My claim: (inference) is in red. Evidence in black. Reasoning in blue.

The bottom of the cube is a 2 that is dark. I noticed that only even numbered sides are dark. I observed 3 light colored sides and 2 dark colored sides. So, if the number is even, it should be dark. That would also make it an equal number of dark and light numbers. Also, I noticed the pattern that there were all numbers 1-6, except 2 and that opposite sides added up to 7. If the top is 5, then the bottom would have to be a two to add up to seven.

It’s a cube, 6 faces 5 is on top. The cube says top

Numbers 1,3, 4, 5, and 6 are visible 1, 3, and 5 are light colored

Numbers 4 and 6 are dark colored All numbers that are light are odd All numbers that are dark or even.

Opposite sides that I see add up to 7 4 + 3 = 7 1 + 6 = 7

Tape is holding the sides togetherCube is taped to a purple plate

2 sides are dark and 3 sides are light.
