CUBE: A TOOL FOR STUDENTS TO LEARN THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF MATH!
- 5+ practice modes across apps
- 25+ levels to build skills
- 1 tablet, Chromebook, or Mac required
Cube is a sensor-enabled tower designed to develop knowledge of place value, including whole numbers, money, and decimals. Students work in pairs by stacking cubes in 3 sensor-enabled tracks to create numbers and solve math problems. The hands-on aspect allows students to visualize math concepts in a new, concrete way.
Cube Apps
- Cube3 - Students place cubes to solve number puzzles, create and compare numbers, round numbers to a specified place, and more!
- Cube6 - A clone of the Cube3 app that works with two towers, giving students six columns to create numbers with more digits.
Teacher Guide
Teachers love Cube for self-checking, differentiation, and reporting. Whether using Cube to introduce a standard, revisit a skill, or offer remediation, the Teacher Guide offers helpful sample introduction scripts, student prompts, and discussion questions.
The Owlet Math Tools Collection
Two hands-on manipulatives, Glow and Cube, combine with digital apps to make abstract math concrete for grades K-5. “Aha!” moments result from peer-to-peer sharing, safe space to explore, and immediate feedback.
Based in research, driven by joy
- The Owlet Math Tools collection is the result of a 3 year design and research study supported by the National Science Foundation and enhanced by real math teachers in classrooms across the United States.
