Algebra ππ§‘
The Binomial and Trinomial Cubes are two of the most fascinating materials in the Montessori curriculum. At their most basic level, they are simply 3D puzzles which challenge the child to rebuild the cubes and prisms into a larger cube.
The child uses the colour coding of the shapes to match and build each level. Itβs not easy, but our Kindy children took the challenge this week with great excitement.
The material is also an exercise in Algebra and Geometry, representing in concrete form the cube of a binomial (a+b)^3 and a trinomial (a+b+c)^3 where a= 3cm, b=4cm and c=5cm, but we donβt talk about that while we're doing it! Itβs all about building visual and muscle memory for future use, and enjoying the language of Mathematics.
