Task: Divide the cube into pieces of equal volume
This task could be integrated into any level of education from primary school. We proposed the task as a contest and supported the student in their explorations. The results varied from two simple prisms to a higher number of very creative shapes.
Here, we present one example, but you can create your own or look for other ideas in our Printables account.
Beware when printing this: if you create puzzle cubes on GeoGebra, they are pretty exact divisions, which can cause problems when assembling/disassembling. It can become very tight. Therefore, for cubes like this, we created an actual division and a centrepiece with a bit cut out.
