Pink tower

The pink tower consists of a set of 10 spruce cubes of the same colour with corners varying from 1 to 10 cm. The dimensions of the cubes vary from the large cube to the small cube in height, width and depth, gradually decreasing by 1 cm. Being able to observe and touch the cubes stimulates the tactile-muscular sense, composing the cubes in a tower helps the eye to perceive dimensions, also in their three-dimensionality. This activity serves to give a concrete understanding of the concept of large and small. The cubes, in fact, do not differ in colour in order to highlight the quality of size and the proportion of dimensions. The game encourages the development of eye-hand coordination, attention and concentration and indirectly prepares the "mathematical mind" by introducing concepts of geometry, volume and the decimal system.
