RUBIKS+CUBE

INTRODUCTION:
===The Rubiks Cube is a famous and fun puzzle that has entertained people since the 1970's. This investigation will explore how much maths is invloved in the rubiks cube: both in the physical structure of the cube, and in learning how to solve the cube.===

Some of the Maths things we can explore in 'THE CUBE' include:
 * surface area, volume, perimeter
 * exploring geometry (Euler's Rule, faces, planes, vertices, edges)
 * completing an intrinsic goal (SOLVING THE CUBE!)
 * learning algorithms
 * learning an algebraic notation
 * following sequential rules and patterns
 * finding ways to apply our new skill
 * calculating all possible solutions and combinations
 * a formula known as 'Gods Algorithm'

Each of the above dot-points have a link to an activity that will worth a certain number of points. Your investigation will be marked out of the number of points you choose. The OVERALL winner will be the person with the most points.
