What is a cube number?
A cube number is a number multiplied by itself three times. 4³ = 4 × 4 × 4 = 64. It’s called a cube because 64 small cubes can be stacked into a 4 × 4 × 4 cube.
To work one out, square the number first, then multiply by it once more: 4 × 4 = 16, and 16 × 4 = 64. Squares are practised in square numbers.
