I would like to talk about conceptual maps. I think it’s a wonderful tool to learn new ideas, concepts, facts, etc, as well as a extraordinary way to express yourself very plainly and visually. Conceptual maps help us to represent the concept and focus on the relationships between the main concepts and ideas rather than losing yourself in the details. No wonder they are used in so many areas, contexts and circumstances, they are used in schools, universities, business, corporations and organizations as useful tools for discussing, sharing and collaborating.

The Rubik’s cube is a 3-D mechanical puzzle (Wikipedia) considered to be the world’s best-selling toy.
Anyway, the Rubik’s cube is not just a game. It is something else. You are learning maths while having such a good time. Solving problems is a good way of improving your intelligence, it encourages you to keep going despite the odds and focus on what is important.
However, you can find a Rubik’s cube overwhelming. Of course, you can visit the vivi’s English Notebook to get some extra help.
Nowdays, you don’t even need to have a physical cube. If you have Ubuntu as your favourite (or secondary) operating system, you can play with the cube, just type in the console: sudo apt-get install kubrick and you will have this game available in Applications, Games, Kubrick.
