In a blog post for Scholastic, teacher Alycia Zimmerman breaks down the many cool ways she uses Lego blocks to help her students understand a variety of math concepts.
She says, “Because of the range of block sizes and the intuitiveness of the stud pattern, Legos can be used to teach everything from square roots to fractions. So, here is my plea: Find some Lego bricks in a storage closet or basement, and take some time exploring how they work. Count the studs, explore the dimensions, build some towers. And I guarantee you’ll now be thinking… MATH!.”
Kids love Lego blocks, and there are several ways in which Lego blocks can be used to teach maths. Here are few steps to help you with your math skill.
