What's in a Cube?

As teachers, we are constantly looking for rich problem-solving tasks that connect different areas of mathematics, capture the interest of our students, and convey the true richness and diversity of the subject (Namakshi et al. 2015). Our activity focuses on exploring patterns in an n n n cube. Since most students are familiar with Rubik’s® Cube and may have seen or played with one before, this activity ties in with an object familiar and interesting to them.
