cubing

Raising power three

Cubing is cutting something into cube-shaped pieces, typically food: Cubing the potatoes took longer than expected.

In mathematics, cubing means raising a number to the third power—multiplying it by itself twice: Cubing 3 gives you 27.

The word also names a method of speedcubing practice or a brainstorming technique that examines topics from six angles.
