Review Qubes are the latest craze in Biology review games!

Review Qubes

I’m so excited to share my new REVIEW QUBES product! Qubes are paper dice that students construct and use to play an engaging cooperative learning game. The game-style format makes learning fun and the review questions are less intimidating because of the random nature in which they come up.

Students follow simple instructions to fold Review Qube templates into paper cubes. There are 3 Qubes: a “DO QUBE” and two “CONCEPT QUBES”. The DO QUBE tells the students what they need to “do” to demonstrate understanding of the concept. For example:

  • DRAW – Any related drawing with or without labels
  • LIST – List 2 or more parts, components, or examples
  • DESCRIBE – Use adjectives and/or key terms to give detailed descriptions
  • STATE – One or more facts or a definition
  • COMPARE or CONTRAST – Discuss a similarity or difference relative to another concept
  • WILD CARD – Choose any of the above methods to demonstrate understanding of the concept!

Students record their answers on the student answer sheet, group members vote on whether or not the answer meets the criteria, and the student with the most correct answers at the end of the game WINS!

12 major topics or key terms on the CONCEPT QUBES provide up to 72 ways to review!

Review Qubes

Review Qubes are inherently differentiated for a variety of learning styles and abilities. Sample answers are provided just to give you an idea of the types of answers student may give, but ultimately you decide which answers are appropriate for your students.

Each Review Qubes product comes with:

  1. Teacher’s Guide
  2. Review Qubes: 1 “Do Qube” and 2 “Concept Qubes
  3. Printable Student Instructions
  4. Sample Answer Keys for each Qube (student answers will vary) and student answer sheets
  5. Blank template in PowerPoint format in case you want to make your own Review Qubes
