Have you blogged about how you are using the different insert cards with your Education Cubes? If so, be sure to link up at the Show & Tell! I would love to feature your idea!

United States of America Cards

The most recent additions to the Education Cubes Members Only Site are the United States insert cards.

There are four new sets of USA insert cards, which include:

1. States with names (color)
2. States without names (color)
3. States with names (grayscale)
4. States without names (grayscale)

Use these USA insert cards in your cubes to help review the states. For example, roll a state and identify its capital. Roll a state and then locate it on the map.
