The third and fourth grade students have been working hard to complete their Rubik's cube models. in teams of six they created the 26 cubes necessary to build a Rubik's cube. Each group completed the challenge their own way. Some groups colored the individual cubes before attaching them, while others waited until the cube was complete. This challenge prepared the students for the upcoming cube challenge in several ways. First, they understand how the cube is constructed which will help as they try to solve the puzzle. Finally, as they worked as a team, they had to persevere as they constructed each individual cube. It was no easy task, but they didn't give up!

I am a new STEM teacher and I love the Rubik's cube! Where did you get the models for the students to creat?
