The Binomial Cube is a hands-on math activity using cubes and prisms to explore algebraic formulas. Package size: 12cm x 12cm x 9.5cm, 1.88kg. The Binomial Cube is a concrete representation of the algebraic formula (a + b)3. The factors of the equation are represented by cubes and prisms. The Montessori child uses the Binomial Cube as an activity of algebraic exploration.
