The puzzles and cubes will be used in a free after-school program that allows middle school students to learn how to solve Rubik's Cubes and other puzzles. We currently have some cubes and puzzles for the students to use, but it would be wonderful to have more cubes and puzzles to allow the kids to do more hands-on exploring.
Working with Rubik's Cubes help students develop spatial skills, critical thinking skills, communication skills, self-confidence, and delayed gratification. The students develop these skills, learn how to solve the cube from memory, and are happy to help other students learn how to solve the cubes.
Students in my homebase class hour are also able to use the Rubik's Cubes and puzzles, so the puzzles and cubes will be used by many students for several years.
