Your children will have so much fun with this hands-on set of Mathcubes™!
Mathcubes™ are designed to practically assist in learning a specialized area of maths such as sorting, patterns, operations, ten frames, place value, fractions, angles, shape, and more.
Mathcubes™ promote mathematical literacy from an early age. They are specially designed to be linked together. Think of them as 3D jigsaw puzzles complete with interjambs (the protruding end) and blanks (the indented space).
Unlike jigsaw puzzles, however, mathcubes are far more versatile. You can link two mathcubes of the same or different colour together, as long as their respective interjambs and blanks fit together. This makes them perfect for illustrating maths concepts such as fractions, addition, multiplication and the like.
Ideal for children ages 4 and above, these cubes cater to a wide range of learners.
In this activity, students can use Mathcubes™ to construct any shape they want. If they want to create more complicated shapes like pyramids, feel free to demonstrate how to make these first.
The Bead Cubes and Lace Set make great building materials by themselves and when paired with the lace, they can be used to demonstrate positive and negative numbers as well.
