About Binomial Cube.
Amazing way how to teach kids algebra thinking in early age.
Montessori Binomial cube.
Formula is (a+b)3
The binomial cube is a wooden box, containing 8 wooden blocks that fit together to form a cube with the same pattern on each side and in the middle. The cube has a visual representation of the algebraic formula (a+b) (a+b) (a+b)
To help develop the child’s visual perception of three-dimensional patterns. To prepare the child for later work in Math, especially algebra.
Now let’s build the Binomial Cube! Using the pattern on the lid, place the 2 red-black prisms around the red cube with red faces touching any of the red faces of the red cube.
One the first layer of the pattern is made, you can move it to the box. For the next one, start by placing the red-black prism on the lid with the red face touching the red mark on the lid. Now place the blue-black prisms around the red-black prism with the black faces touching the black face of the red-black prism. To complete the pattern, place the blue cube with its face touching the blue faces of the blue-black prisms. Move it to the top of the first set of prisms in the box.
Gently close the hinges of the box and cover with the lid. Remember that ways of playing with this cube are endless. Be creative and playful when explaining mathematics and your child might fall in love with math.
