I have relied on Web resources for such information. Therefore, in order to get a better understanding of the Soma Cube, it would be a good idea to look at some of the web pages whose links appear below. A good traditional assessment option is to include some written questions about the Soma Cube, its pieces' assembly, and its history on a quiz or test, along with questions about solid geometry. Also, there are some authentic assessment options. A teacher can give a student or pair of students a time limit within which they should construct a Soma Cube or related puzzle.
Teachers can also ask students to create and record their own puzzles for other students.
Teachers can make a book of such puzzles to keep with the cube pieces for students to check out. Also, if you notice that any of my information is incorrect or any of the links are invalid, please let me know.
