    Right now I am in the middle of the cube game.
    This is not that easy, this cube game needs teamwork and dedication.
    My partner (Lisa) helped me to fix the broken parts.

    Half way through the day, an important day to participate and contribute in. To begin the day, a special event occurred, we broke a world record, all schools and all communities joined in to help TTRS (a supportive math website) get a certificate.
    Next we did a cube game, most of us got stuck, we got close, until we realised we had 2 colours on 1 face, so far nobody has solved it, but we are working on it.

    Today has been really fun so far. We helped TTRS win the record. Currently me and Rahaniya are trying to build a 3 by 3 cube withought any same colours on the same side. This is really challenging. Tips to solve this mission:
    Make sure you don’t cheat because you won’t be able to get it.

    First we got a notice how it was the official attempt for Times Table Rockstar to beat the world record for the highest amount of people active on the website. Now we have 27 cubes and have to complete a challenge given. We are struggling trying to solve this challenge but me and my partner are using the values of tenacity and communication.

    We are currently 1/2 way through making this cube. It is really challenging as my group( me, Bilawal and Steven) are struggling a little bit. However, we are working hard as a team and are communicating skills are fantastic.

    Currently we are making our cube, a tip I always use in this challenge is going 1 at a time as it gives you more time to think.I used resilience to make this cube as when it failed we always tried again.

    Congratulations to the TTRS Guiness world record

    Some tips are to solve a cube are:
    1)To see the colours in the right place.
    2)put the light colour in the right corner.

    In the morning , we were given a challenge we had to try and beat the Guinness world record for TTRS and we beat it! We were given a another tricky challenge to bulid a 3 by 3 cube with blocks and the 2 of the same colours blocks couldn’t be on the same face. What a challenge! We are currently still stuck on this challenge. The values we used are resilience and teamwork as we all contributed in this tricky challenge!

    The cube challenge is not as easy as it looks.
    My group (Rhema and Ilyas) are quite confused on this question however we are showing resilience and perseverance to continue and will try and solve this equation.
