Teachables Linking Cubes - 1cm with 5-Point Linking, 1000 Pieces

These new and improved linking cubes feature a combination of 100 cubes with a 5-point linking system (in orange) and 900 cubes with a 3-point linking system. This innovative design allows students to build bigger and more complex models, fostering a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts. Linking cubes are a powerful educational tool for developing skills in addition, place value, classifying, counting, and patterning, as well as enhancing geometric and geometry reasoning skills. These cubes are suitable for learners at all levels, from beginners to advanced students, offering endless creative possibilities in the classroom.

Educational Benefits:

• Supports the development of addition and place value skills through hands-on activities.
• Encourages classification and sorting as students organise cubes by colour or shape.
• Enhances geometric reasoning and pattern recognition through the creation of shapes and models.
• Promotes problem-solving and critical thinking as students build and manipulate more complex structures.

Classroom Ideas:

• Use the cubes to explore addition and subtraction by grouping cubes and counting them in different ways.
• Incorporate patterning exercises where students create repeating patterns with the cubes, enhancing their understanding of sequences.
• Encourage students to build 3D structures, allowing them to explore spatial relationships and geometric reasoning.
• Assign classification tasks where students sort cubes by colour, size, or shape, reinforcing organisational skills and number sense.
