Presentation #3: Building the Cube outside of the Box Remove the pieces and arrange in columns as done in Presentation #2. Move the solid red cube to the center of the workspace. Build the cube outside of the box. Explore the cube by splitting it vertically, noting the pattern on the inside. (Can also separate into horizontal layers.)* Work of the Teacher: Points of Emphasis: Gentle handling of the material. of removing pieces from the box and placing in formation. Language: binomial, cube Points of Interest: putting the cube together as a puzzle Work of the Child: Points of Consciousness: Reproducing the pattern on the lid in returning the pieces to the box. Control of Error: Box will not close if pieces are not placed In the box properly. Variations: see presentations #2 & #3, also: *Change horizontal layers into vertical layers and push back together to form cube. (Color pattern can be observed in all manner of separation of layers.) Extensions: Exploring the relationship between the binomial and trinomial cube. Building the cube blindfolded. Source: Martha Monahan, NMI; 2005
