Cube Model, Pedagogically Stretched

thingiverse

**Cube Model, Pedagogically Stretched** **Update**: Tightened up the inner edge slightly more to allow for "smooth insertion". There's a wealth of mathematical concepts surrounding and within a cube. The current design enables students to create their own models, then experiment with the cube from various angles, gaining valuable insights into triangles and angles. The Pythagorean Theorem will prove particularly useful in many instances! To explore these mathematical ideas, you'll need a sturdy elastic cord similar to those used for name badges (with reinforced end caps), 8 vertices, and 12 edges. Assemble the cube by pressing the vertices against a hard surface or using pliers. Once assembled, it may be challenging to disassemble. If necessary, feel free to use the loose vertex or increase the printing resolution. **References** 1. http://www.froebelweb.org/web7000.html
