Homework Offered
Prior to our first meeting, please work on learning to make the "daisy", which is a yellow center with 4 white edge pieces. The DAISY TO WHITE CROSS page of the handouts will help. After class, students should practice solving what they have learned in class. Once confident, they will be ready to learn the next steps by taking another Cuber 101 class. Students who can solve the white cross prior to taking Cuber 101 have the highest chance of solving the cube in just one class.Assessments Offered
Cubing is self-assessing. If goals are met, they will achieve each step toward the solve. Students who are having trouble, will receive help from the teacher to diagnose the problem and fix it.Grades Offered
2 files available upon enrollmentSTUDENTS MUST HAVE A REGULAR SIZED 3x3 CUBE. Any brand will do, but it must be a standard 3x3 cube with a regular color arrangement. Yellow opposite White, Red opposite Orange, and Blue opposite Green. It is highly recommended to have the solution handouts printed IN COLOR and brought to class. IMPORTANT: For the greatest success with young learners, having parents nearby to help students avoid left and right, clockwise and counter-clockwise mistakes will help students to avoid meltdowns.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
