Activities for Students: Slicing a Cube
Emiliano Gómez · Mathematics Teacher Learning and Teaching PK-12 · 2009
As mathematics educators, we know that mathematical maturity and good habits of mind need to be developed and encouraged continually. For students to form these habits, they need opportunities to think and explore mathematically. The activity “Slicing a Cube,” in which students are asked to decide whether or not certain figures may be obtained when a plane slices through a cube, provides such an opportunity.
