				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When my son was in first grade he said to me that he wanted to learn &#8220;everything there is to know about math.&#8221;  He is now ten and his love of mathematics has not waned.  Mental math is of particular interest to him as he constantly challenges himself to solve math problems in his head.  To help him in his quest, I designed this very simple game to help him memorize squares and cubes of numbers up to twenty.  He wants to have these memorized so that he can tackle harder math problems mentally. I don&#8217;t even have these memorized, but he finds this kind of stuff fun, so I&#8217;m happy to help! If you have a kid who loves math, s/he may enjoy this game too <img src="http://www.empoweringparentstoteach.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong>Materials:</strong></span></p>
<ul>
<li>Squbed game boards (4 included)</li>
<li>Number cards</li>
<li>Squares and Cubes Guide</li>
<li>Beans or other small objects</li>
<li>Envelope to store the number cards</li>
<li>Print <a href="http://www.empoweringparentstoteach.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Squbed.pdf">Squbed</a> materials here</li>
<li><strong>Note: Laminate materials if possible for durability</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong>How to play:</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">1. Choose one Squbed game board.  This game can be played with up to four players.<br />
</span></p>
<p>2. Place the number cards in the envelope.</p>
<p>3. Players take turns picking out a number card randomly.  Each card contains a number squared or cubed.  For example, one card shows 2 squared. If a player has the equivalent value of the card (in this example: 4) the player should cover the square with a bean or other small object.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a class="lightbox" href="http://www.empoweringparentstoteach.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/IMG_2652.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2473" src="http://www.empoweringparentstoteach.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/IMG_2652-1024x683.jpg" alt="Empowering Parents To Teach- Squbed" width="750" height="500" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>4. The first player who covers his or her entire board first is the winner.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #3366ff;"><strong>Note:</strong></span></p>
<ul>
<li>I included the square and cube guide to help facilitate play until the squares and cubes are memorized.</li>
<li>I made each board a different color so that your child can keep track of which board or boards he or she used. After playing four times, with the four different boards, all of the squares and cubes will have been practiced at least once.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Have fun!</strong></p>
