What you need

- A phone, tablet or computer for the 3D instructions
- An optional printed sheet (one A4 page)
Get started in three steps
- 01
Choose a pattern
Start with the six-move checkerboard. Compare the finished pictures and choose a pattern you like.
- 02
Print and hand out the sheet
All eight patterns fit on one A4 page. Choose Save as PDF in the print dialog to share a digital copy.
- 03
Scan and turn, one move at a time
Open the 3D instructions using the QR code. Pause playback or step through the moves at your own pace.
Three patterns to try first
Start each one with a solved cube. Select a picture to open its 3D instructions.
Using it with a class or group
Check the first move together before continuing. In pairs, take turns reading the instructions and turning the cube. If notation is unfamiliar, watch the 3D moves together.
Return to a solved cube
The repeat count is the total from solved back to solved. “2 repeats” means doing the same sequence once more after making the pattern. If you lose your place, enter the current colors in the solver.
