Math meets the environment.
Eco Cube is where applied math meets environmental science. Solve cube puzzles to model real challenges, calculate real solutions, and prove that math unlocks the planet's biggest problems.
Free for classrooms. Ages 8 and up.
Five variables, one equation
A cube for every corner of the planet.
Each color is a variable. Solve a face, model a real system, then calculate what change looks like in the world.
How a level works
Three steps from puzzle to proof.
Spin the cube
Rotate faces, recognize patterns. Spatial reasoning and symmetry are your first tools.
Set up the equation
Crack the puzzle and a real environmental problem appears — with the math variables already identified.
Calculate, then act
QR codes connect each puzzle to Learning solution pages where students apply what they learn to action!
Try a face
A tiny cube to play with right now.
Click a tile, watch the row twist. Pattern recognition is the first step in applied math — and the first move in every Eco Cube level.
What teachers say
Made for classrooms that don't sit still.
My students finally understood percentages when they calculated how much ocean is threatened by rising temperatures. The cube made it real.

Grade 5 Teacher, Lagos
Connecting math to something they care about — that's the unlock. They're graphing carbon data and asking for more.

The QR solution pages show the actual equations. Parents are working through them at breakfast alongside their kids.
