Montessori Trinomial Cube

Introducing the Trinomial Cube, a wooden box with 27 painted wooden cubes, designed to introduce abstract math concepts to children as young as 4. This educational tool serves as a bridge between concrete and abstract thinking, providing a sensorial experience that will benefit children as they progress to more complex algebraic concepts. The cube is hinged and opens to display the cubes, with the lid printed with the trinomial square pattern.

The cubes are color-coded, with "a2" in red, "b2" in blue, "c2" in yellow, and the other faces in black, representing the algebraic formula (a+b+c) (a+b+c) (a+b+c) or (a+b+c)³. The high-quality wood and non-toxic, odorless paint ensure a safe and durable product. The trinomial cube also includes eighteen square-based prisms, with a cap size of 5.3 x 5.3" and box size of 4.43 x 4.43 x 4.25".

The item use involves removing the pieces from the hinged box and arranging them on the table according to the formula. Starting with the tallest layer and the red cube (a3), continuing to the second and third layers in sequence, the child reconstructs the cube, matching faces of the same color and size. This hands-on approach to learning fosters a deeper understanding of abstract mathematical concepts.

The Trinomial Cube measures 5.5 x 5.5 x 4.5" when assembled, providing a compact and engaging educational tool for young learners. By offering a visual and tactile representation of algebraic concepts, this product promotes a strong foundation in math for children.
