review From "the yellow cornerS"

ReviewTell students:

• Find a face (other than the YELLOW or WHITE face) that has matching TOP layer corners:• Twist the UP face until two horizontal corners (shown as AB or CD) match

the center piece color on all three faces.

• Position the cube so that the matching horizontal corners are on the BACK layer.

• If you do not have two horizontal corners matching on the TOP layer:

• Twist the UP face until one set of diagonal corners (shown as AD or BC) match with the center piece color on all three faces.

• When the matching TOP layer horizontal corners or diagonal corners are in the correct position:• Follow the algorithm to solve for all the TOP layer corners.

If you are teaching Lesson 7 - The Yellow Corners and Lesson 8 - The Yellow Edges as one lesson, continue from Lesson 7 - The Yellow Corners beginning with Lesson Vocabulary below.

4

The Yellow EdgesleSSon FocuSEach student should have a cube with the BOTTOM layer, MIDDLE layer, YELLOW face and YELLOW corners solved.

With the YELLOW face (completed) facing UP:

Tell students:

• Make sure all the corners are in the correct position.

• Find the face (other than the YELLOW or WHITE face) that is completely solved.

• Put the solved face as the BACK face.

• If you do not have a solved face, choose any face as the BACK face and complete one of the algorithms:

OR

Ask students: Raise hand when they have a solved face as the BACK face.Check for accuracy.

• With the WHITE face as the DOWN face, the YELLOW face as the UP face and the other solved face as the BACK face, look at the edge pieces on the TOP layer.

• Decide whether the remaining three unsolved edge pieces should move clockwise along the TOP layer to solve the cube or counter-clockwise to solve the cube.

• If the three edges on the TOP layer should move clockwise (toward the RIGHT face):• E to F, F to G, G to E, then follow the algorithm:

• If the three edges on the TOP layer should move counter-clockwise (toward the LEFT face):• E to G, G to F, F to E, then follow the algorithm:

• The algorithm for clockwise or counter-clockwise may need to be done twice to position the YELLOW edges on the correct faces.

tRoubLesHooting• Occasionally, solving the YELLOW edges will not solve the cube completely.

• It may solve each of faces of each layer, but the TOP layer will not match the MIDDLE layer or BOTTOM layer.

• If the TOP layer does not match the other layers, twist the TOP layer until all faces are complete.

Differentiation Activities

Based on your observations and background knowledge of students, divide students into small groups according to the groups below. Within each of the leveled groups, students may be further divided into pairs or mini-groups. The groups should be flexible. Students can move in and out of the leveled groups based on their understanding and mastery of activities within each level. Depending on the number of students, there may be multiple groups within each level. The lettered levels are meant to differentiate activities, not to maintain only four groups.

• M – Modify the lesson for understanding (Individual or Pairs Suggested) Use Appendix 8.M

Students in this group should:• Need some assistance with clockwise and counter-clockwise direction.• Be familiar with using algorithms.• Be familiar with the ¼ turns and letter representations.

• A – Apply the lesson to repeated practice (Groups or Pairs Suggested) Use Appendix 8.A

Students in this group should:• Be able to solve the YELLOW Corners consistently.• Be able to work well with others.• Understand clockwise and counter-clockwise direction.

• T – Re-Teach the lesson for mastery (Pairs Suggested) Use Appendix 8.T

Students in this group should:• Be familiar with using algorithms.• Need help with image matching and understanding clockwise/counter-clockwise direction.

• H – Higher level learning for enrichment Use Appendix 8.H

Students in this group should:• Have mastered the activities in Group A.• Be able to work independently.

If you are teaching Lesson 7 - The Yellow Corners and Lesson 8 - The Yellow Edges as one lesson, use a combination of appendices from Lesson 7 and Lesson 8 based on the needs of the students.

If you don't have a third solved face, (i.e., YELLOW face, WHITE face and one other face) use one of the algorithms below:

With the WHITE face as the DOWN face, the YELLOW face as the UP face and the other solved face as the BACK face, look at the edge pieces on the TOP layer.

Does the G edge piece need to move clockwise to where the E edge is to be in the correct position? If yes:

Does the G edge piece need to move counter-clockwise to where F edge is to be in the correct position? If yes:

If all edge pieces are not in the correct position, the algorithm for clockwise or counter-clockwise may need to be done twice to position the YELLOW edges correctly and solve the cube.

The Yellow EdgesIf you are teaching Lesson 7 – The Yellow Corners and Lesson 8 - The Yellow Edges as one lesson,

use the Review from this gray box. If you are only teaching Lesson 8, skip this box and use the Lesson 8 Review on the next page.

ReviewTell students:

• Find a non YELLOW or WHITE face that has matching horizontal TOP layer corners:• Twist the UP face until two horizontal corners (shown as AB or CD) match the center

piece color on all three faces.• Position the cube so that the matching horizontal corners are on the BACK layer.

• If you do not have two horizontal corners matching on the TOP layer:

• Twist the UP face until one set of diagonal corners (shown as AD or BC) match with the center piece color on three faces.

• When the matching TOP layer horizontal corners or diagonal corners are in the correct position:

• Follow the algorithm to solve for all the TOP layer corners.

Tell students:

• Find the face (other than the YELLOW or WHITE face) that is completely solved and position as the BACK face.

• If there is not a third solved face, complete one of the algorithms below, then reposition the cube with the solved face as the BACK face.

• Decide whether the edge pieces should move clockwise along the TOP layer to solve the cube or counter-clockwise to solve the cube.

Lesson extension Tell students:

• If, after solving for all the YELLOW edges, the faces are not complete matches, we will have to twist the TOP layer until the faces are complete.

• This is similar to solving a math problem.

• Sometimes, the answer we get at a certain step in the problem is not the intended solution for the problem.

• For example:

• What percent of 100 is 20?

• As a number sentence that question is written: W x 100 = 20

• By dividing each side by 100, we get 0.2.

• The solution to the problem is not complete. Even though 0.2 is the answer toW x 100 = 20, the original question asked: What percent?

• So, 0.2 must be changed to a percent by moving the decimal over two places.

• The solution to “What percent of 100 is 20?” is 20%.

evaLuationEach student should be able to:

• Solve the YELLOW edges.

• Be confident with image matching.

• Utilize the algorithms based on clockwise and counter-clockwise movements.

Rubik’s tRiviaQuestion: There are 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 possible configurations. About how many configurations are there?

Answer: There are about 43 quintillion configurations. The exact number is read: 43 quintillion, 252 quadrillion, 3 trillion, 274 billion, 489 million, 856 thousand
