Educational Math Cubes

🧊 These cubes are a universal educational tool for children. They are especially useful for teaching mathematics (e.g. based on the Hejny method), but can also be used in computer science activities (for example black-and-white combinations).

The cubes have dimensions of 2 × 2 × 2 cm, which makes them:

• easy to hold in small hands
• simple to stack and manipulate
• ideal for counting and building

⚠️ Warning: The cubes are small and therefore not suitable for children under 3 years old (risk of choking).

🔄 Variants

• basic cubes (print profile 1)
• interlocking cubes – easier to stack, but the connection is not firm (print profile 2)

📦 Recommended quantity – how many to print

• basic set for 1 child: 20 – 50 pieces
• most commonly used amount: around 100 pieces

👉 We recommend using a mix of different colors.

🎨 Color options

The cubes can be printed in different color combinations depending on their use:

• 1 color – simple activities
• 2 colors – any combination (e.g. white + black for computer science)
• 3 colors – blue, yellow, red
• 4 colors – blue, yellow, red, green
• 5 colors (most common) – blue, yellow, red, green, white
• 6 colors – blue, yellow, red, green, white, black

➕ Use in mathematics

The cubes help children understand math in a visual and hands-on way:

• counting and multiplication
• number decomposition
• fractions and parts of a whole
• spatial awareness
• comparing 3D shapes

📐 Volume and space:

• blue = base
• red = height
• yellow = depth

💻 Use in computer science

The cubes are also great for introducing basic computer science concepts:

• binary numbers (black = 0, white = 1)
• pixel art
• patterns and symmetry

🧠 Skills development

Working with the cubes helps children develop:

• logical thinking
• fine motor skills
• spatial orientation
• creativity and imagination

Handling the cubes (grasping, stacking, arranging) also supports sensory development.

🧩 Bonus tip

You can also create cards for spatial orientation, where children build structures based on given patterns.
