A 3D visualization of the identity (a+b)^3

This is a 3D visualization of the identity [math](a+b)^3[/math]. This material uses GeoGebra's 3D capability and is supported only in GeoGebra v 5.0 and higher. The blue cuboids have a volume of a^2b, the green ones have a volume of ab^2, the red one is a^3 and the yellow one is b^3. Adding all of them gives the (a+b)^3 result.
