To get the WHITE/BLUE/RED corner is correct position: Position the WHITE center piece facing up so that the WHITE face is UP Find the WHITE/BLUE/RED corner If the corner colors do not match their faces, then: – If the WHITE/BLUE/RED edge is not already on the bottom row of the cube) Twist the row of the cube that has the WHITE/BLUE/RED edge L, Ri, F,Fi, B, or Bi until the WHITE/BLUE/RED corner is on the BOTTOM row of the cube. Twist the DOWN Face a D ¼ turn Be sure to put the row that was moved back to its original place before moving the DOWN face again. Now position the WHITE/BLUE/RED corner directly below the top row corner piece where the WHITE/BLUE/RED corner should be. Position the cube so that the WHITE/BLUE/RED corner is at the RIGHT/FRONT corner of the cube.

Troubleshooting If you accidentally place a white corner with the incorrect faces, reposition the WHITE corner on the BOTTOM row underneath the TOP row corner where it belongs with the matching face colors and use the algorithm Make sure the WHITE cross remains intact each time you reposition a WHITE corner.

REVIEW Position a WHITE corner on the BOTTOM row underneath the TOP row corner where it belongs with the matching face colors. Use the algorithm as many times as needed until the corner is correctly place. Repeat the steps for each corner until all four corners are in the correct places.

Lesson Extension Repeating the pattern or algorithm as many times as needed is similar to repeating the steps to solve a long division problem with decimals. In this long division problem, every number was divided by the divisor (5) and the next number in the dividend (56.34) was brought down to make a new dividend. When solving for the WHITE corners, every bottom corner starts the same way. The algorithm is used to place the corner in the correct place. With the next corner, the same algorithm is used to place that corner correctly. How does this lesson apply to math?
