The Montessori Binomial Cube is a classic sensorial and early algebra material designed to help children physically explore the mathematical formula: (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³.
While children first experience it as a 3D puzzle, this beautiful wooden box introduces the foundation of binomial expansion — years before they study algebra formally.
Recommended Age:
3.5 – 6 years (Sensorial introduction)
6+ years (Early algebra concept)
How to Use:
1. Sensorial Exploration
The child removes and reassembles the 8 wooden blocks into the original cube shape, using visual matching of colors and shapes.
2. Visual Pattern Recognition
