After you learn this method, you can add speed cubing moves when you are ready.  \n Throughout the guide you will see this symbol to indicate helpful tips. Take the time to read the tips closely.  \n The gray areas on the Rubik’s Cube mean that at the stage you are working on, the color of the gray pieces doesn’t matter.  \nTips for Success  \n Mindset is critical-learning to solve the Rubik’s Cube is difficult but if you persevere, you CAN solve the Rubik’s Cube.  \n Keep the Rubik’s Cube on a table or use a mat [like the one on www.YouCanDoTheCube.com](like the one on www.YouCanDoTheCube.com)[ ](like the one on www.YouCanDoTheCube.com)to maintain the same front face for an entire algorithm (sequence of moves) .  \n Think of the algorithms as moving a piece out of the way, setting up its correct position, and then moving the piece into that place.  \n Master one layer by re-scrambling your Rubik’s Cube and practicing multiple times before moving on to the next layer. (Note: When solving the last layer, you can scramble just the top by applying the algorithm on page 12) .  \n Learn songs and chants to help you memorize the algorithms.  \n Place a small sticky note on the piece of the Rubik’s Cube you are moving so you can follow its path. Consider taking a video while you do this and then watch the video.  \n Use this guide along with You Can Do the Rubik’s Cube’s corresponding resources such as videos, solving checklist, and teacher guides.  \nGET TO KNOW YOUR RUBIK’S CUBE  \nLAYERS  \nThere are three horizontal layers in a 3x3  \nRubik’s Cube.  \nUsing this guide, you will solve the Rubik’s  \nCube layer by layer.  \nTOPLAYER  \nMIDDLE LAYER  \nBOTTOM LAYER  \nFACES  \nEach flat surface is a face . There are 6 faces on a Rubik’s Cube.  \nYou can place your palm flat on a FACE .  \nCENTERS  \nCenter pieces have one colored tile. There are 6 center pieces.  \nCenter pieces are single tiles, fixed to  \nthe internal core .  \nWhen correctly solved, each face will be the color of its center piece.  \nYou use one finger to toucha CENTERpiece.  \nThese center piece colors are always opposite each other:  \nWHITE BLUE ORANGE  \n5  \nopposite  \nopposite  \nopposite  \nYELLOWGREEN RED  \nEDGES  \nEdge pieces have two colored tiles. There are 12 edge pieces.  \nYou use two fingers topinch an EDGE piece.  \nCORNERS  \nCorner pieces have three colored tiles.  \nThere are 8 corner pieces.  \nYou use three fingers to touch all sides of a CORNER piece.  \n6  \nGET TO KNOW YOUR RUBIK’S CUBE  \nFACE KEY  \nALGORITHM KEY  \nEach face is represented by a letter.  \nU = UP FACE  \nMoves used in this guide.  \nU  \nU’  \nD = DOWN FACE  \nD  \nD’  \nMOTIONS  \nThink of the movements of these objects when you turn the faces .  \nFACE KEY  \nALGORITHM KEY  \nEach face is represented by a letter.  \nMoves used in this guide.  \nL =  \nLEFT FACE  \nR =  \nRIGHT FACE  \nMOTIONS  \nThink of the movements of these objects when you turn the faces .  \n8  \nFACE KEY  \nALGORITHM KEY  \nEach face is represented by a letter.  \nF =  \nFRONT FACE  \nMoves used in this guide.  \nB = BACK FACE  \nMOTIONS  \nThink of the movements of these objects when you turn the faces .  \n9  \n Each move is a ¼ TURN.  \nAn ALGORITHM is a sequence of moves that you need to do in a specific order.  \n When following the algorithms in this guide, it is important to maintain the FRONT face of your Rubik’s Cube so it stays the FRONT through all of the turns.  \n If there is a 2 next to the algorithm letter, turn the face twice.  \nD2  \nD  \nD  \n A turn is clockwise when looking at that face directly. A letter with an apostrophe (‘) after it means to make an inverse or counterclockwise turn of the face .  \n10","cbCaiiZpzFbdx2Gu","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiZpzFbdx2Gu","pdf",5316226,39,"English","# How to Use this Guide\n## Tips for Success\n# Get to Know Your Rubik’s Cube\n## Layers\n## Faces\n## Centers\n## Edges\n## Corners\n## Face Key and Algorithm Key\n## Motions and Notation","[{\"question\":\"What is the layered method used for solving a 3x3 Rubik’s Cube?\",\"answer\":\"The guide teaches solving the cube layer by layer.
