Cubing requires students to look at a topic from six different angles such as: Describe It!, Compare It!, Associate It!, Apply It!, Analyze It!, Argue For or Against It!. Teachers often create a visual cube that serves as a starting point when they want students to analyze or consider various aspects of a topic. Cubes can be an after-reading strategy that requires students to think critically about a topic. When students work with cubes, they apply information in new ways. Cubes can be differentiated by interest and readiness.

Adaptations

Design cubes based on interest or learning profiles.
Use the cubes as dice which students roll.
In math, create problems for students to solve. One problem is printed on each side of the cube.
Create cubes around the Multiple Intelligences.
Incorporate Bloom's Taxonomy.
