Box of 1,000 cubes on the Pink Tower

The cubes deepen the work with the pink tower. A cube corresponds to the smallest cube of the pink tower. With the 1,000 cubes, even the largest cube of the Pink Tower, measuring 10 x 10 x 10 cm, can be rebuilt. While children in kindergarten and pre-school are still busy discovering the 3-dimensionality of the pink tower by rebuilding the pink cubes with the 1 x 1 x 1 cubes, school children are already discovering the connections between volume calculations. For example, the pink cube with an edge length of 2 cm requires exactly 2 x 2 x 2 = 8 white cubes. For the pink cube with an edge length of 4 cm, students need 4 x 4 x 4 = 64 cubes.
