I enjoyed this opinion piece about creative ways to use a Rubik’s cube to engage reluctant students in a mathematics class.
As an added bonus, the article provides a link to You Can Do The Cube, which includes complex mosaics that can be built by arranging one side of multiple Rubik’s cubes, suggesting this as a strategy for getting children hooked on Rubik’s cubes (instead of frustrating novices with the complex task of solving the cube completely).
