Build meaning first
Build a perfect cube
Cubing uses three equal factors. The model shows why.
33 = 3 × 3 × 3 = 27
3 layers × 9 cubes per layer = 27 unit cubes. The complete cube has 3 units on every edge and 27 unit cubes, including those inside.
Connect the inverse facts
3³ = 27 · ∛27 = 3
The exponent counts equal factors; it does not mean multiply by 2 or 3.
