It’s hip to be square, and even more hip to go 3D. In Super Cube Shuffle, kids flip red and white cubes to match a pattern. The cubes’ all-red and all-white are easy to match. But the 2 faces that pair a red triangle with a white triangle have to be spun to fit. Lining those up to make diagonal stripes and pinwheels pushes our rotational geometry skills!
Here at Crazy 8s, we’re big believers in practicing spatial thinking. Shapes and numbers – basically geometry and algebra – live in different parts of our brains. A Stanford study using MRIs of kids’ brains showed that kids with more connections between these brain regions were better at math 6 years later than the kids without those connections.
So keep the geometry fun going at home! Click here to find lots of new puzzles your whole family can match.
