5th Grade and 6th Grade Challenge Club Students Create Rubik’s Cube Mural.

As a part of the Challenge Club curriculum, 5^th and 6^th graders learned how to use algorithms and patterns to solve the Rubik’s Cube. Students are selected for Challenge Club based on their natural math ability and high math test scores. At first, they just learned how to solve the cube using these patterns. Once they have mastered the cube, the group designed a mural to make purely out of Rubik’s Cubes. The group decided on a classic PacMan design featuring Pacman himself, fruit, and 3 different-colored ghosts. After weeks of organizing and planning for the mural, the students used a total of 206 cubes to create their design. The finished mural is in Miss Kraemer’s 5^th grade classroom until the second week of March.
