They include UniLink® Cubes, Unifix® Cubes, multicubes, mathcubes and similar objects. Interlocking cubes can be used to teach various maths concepts such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, etc.

Unlike simple cubes, interlocking cubes are less likely to be knocked over into pieces by playful children. You can store them as individual pieces or linked together, making them easy to put away after class.

They also come in a variety of materials - mostly wood and plastic. Plastic cubes last longer, but wooden ones look better and are much more environment-friendly.  

Activity Ideas:

  • Build me a tower. Ask students to build a tower using specified dimensions. For example, you could ask, ‘Build me a tower consisting of three pink cubes’. You could make it more complicated with requests like, ‘Build me a tower with three red cubes, two blue ones and four yellow ones, in that order’. 
  • Unpacking fractions. Stack a random number of coloured cubes on top of another stack of cubes with a different colour. Then, ask students what fractions they can see.  
  • Freebuilding. You don’t have to limit students to building standard blocky shapes. Let them shape the interlocking cubes into any shape they wish.
