Solving a Rubik’s Cube or other related puzzle cube has a number of advantages. Enhances problem-solving abilities: Solving a Rubik’s Cube calls for rational reasoning and analytical abilities. One can improve their ability to divide complicated issues into smaller, more manageable parts by practicing solving the cube. Enhances spatial intelligence: Solving a Rubik’s Cube requires moving the cube around in three directions, which can enhance spatial awareness and mental flexibility. Increases one’s capacity for patience and persistence: Solving a Rubik’s Cube can be a difficult job that calls for a lot of these qualities. One can hone these vital skills by going through the processes to solve the cube. Hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills can be improved by manipulating the cube’s tiny pieces.
LO1 – Identify own strengths and develop areas for growth:
Attempting to solve a Rubik’s Cube or other similar puzzle cubes can help you develop a number of abilities, including: Solving a Rubik’s Cube calls for the use of reasoning, problem-solving, and critical thinking abilities. It entails dividing difficult issues into smaller, more manageable chunks and figuring out how to handle each chunk separately. The three-dimensional cube can be maneuvered to increase spatial intellect and mental flexibility. Patience and perseverance: Solving a Rubik’s Cube can be a difficult job that calls for a lot of both. By repeatedly exercising the cube-solving techniques, these vital traits can be developed. Hand-eye coordination, dexterity, and fine motor skills can all be enhanced by manipulating the cube’s tiny parts.
LO2 – Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills:Â Â Overcoming this challenge was a daunting task. I knew how to solve a Rubik’s cube, but I didn’t how to participate and also didn’t understand any of the rules of competing in a tournament. However, when I got there, the judges gave me a quick tutorial on how things work and how to give my best shot. I learned something new at the event.
LO4 – Show perseverance and commitment in CAS experience:Â While I registered for the event, I started practicing my skills for getting a chance to win. I participated in the 3x3x3 cube type. I used to practice for at least 1 hour daily and got better at it over time.
I displayed the learner profile Balanced as I managed to make myself better at Cube solving. This helped me better to make my mind sharper too. I was able to make better use of my time rather than spending it on a screen. Also, this was my first tournament.
