Cube Conversations is a set of 80 (eighty!) animated lessons designed to promote visually rich math discourse. I’ve designed these lessons to invite many voices and vantage points into classroom conversations.
Much like Splat!, you control the animation with a few simple clicks – and each click presents an opportunity for students to see and discuss an image in new ways.
Of course, there is also a sense of mystery, much like what your students felt in Splat! The end of each slide includes The Reveal, when the answer is shown.
I hope your classroom will be filled with rich math talk, inspiring insights from your students, and moments of celebration as you guide your class through Cube Conversations!
Watch the video, download the lessons, and allow your students to amaze your with their visual math thinking.
***UPDATE: You can now download the 80 printable Cube Conversations pages here.
