Can you believe Rubik’s Cube is 30? When I was young and I’m dating myself here the Rubik’s Cube came out and all tweens (psst! I wasn’t a tween yet) were challenged. Rubiks Cubes are the perfect traveling companion. It was perfect to put in your locker and to work on during your down time.

This great puzzle is fun and entertaining but has other benefits as well. When working to solve the Rubik’s Cube you get a sense of 
accomplishment. In addition, learning to solve the Rubik’s Cube helps teach life lessons such as, following directions, perseverance, memorization and focus. I myself self would like to add how to deal with aggravation. It’s addicting and something I would work and work at until I had it solved.
Rubik’s Cube is a game of teaching too. Holding, twisting, and turning the parts, can help children of all ages grasp important math concepts including area, perimeter, volume, angles, algorithms and enumeration, among many other geometry and algebraic topics.
My husband and I want to do all we can to help our children and if that means making them play games well? Rock On!

great for math lessons and teaching patience and following directions
It helps teach focus, following directions, memorization, sequencing, problem solving, critical thinking, and perseverance.
I think concentration.
Thanks for the chance.

Probably the best feature is I have never been able to solve the Cube, or maybe that is the worse feature. I really like the idea that it comes with instructions. The idea of finally being able to solve this is wonderful!
Thank you.
Wow I never thought the cube could be used to teach topics”including area, perimeter, volume, angles, algorithms and enumeration, among many other geometry and algebraic topics.”
I think that it great for car rides. It makes you use your brain.

I like the idea of teaching math with a twist – similar to learning stuff in song/rhyme.
I think it’s neat that holding the Rubik’s Cube, twisting and turning the parts, can help children of all ages grasp important math concepts including area, perimeter, volume, angles, algorithms and enumeration, among many other geometry and algebraic topics.

One thing is certain — whether you solve the Rubik’s Cube in ten-seconds or ten days — you experience a great sense of accomplishment and pride when you finally see the ordered rows of colors with each piece sitting in its correct position.
I like that it helps you think and use your Brain, that’s a plus for kids if you ask me
I like that it teaches focus and critical problem solving skills.
It helps the brain keep neurons from dying
