LEGOS is an amazing toy for children but an incredible thing is that both adults and children like to play with it.
It is helpful in stimulating one’s imagination and creative abilities and is also valuable in the formation of logical thinking.
It is not only used as a toy but when it comes to learning LEGOS is used as an aid in class and at home.
Alycia Zimmerman who is a school teacher uses LEGOS on a regular basis to develop the skills of basic maths among her students.
According to Alycia, it is an understandable method for young pupils as it enables them to learn basic math concepts and calculations.
She uses examples that are so effective and learner-friendly and the ones who don’t have the patience to teach kids with the right words must try this. It is seriously fun to teach fractions of maths using LEGOS.
All you have to do is just bring a bag and gather the entire class and start teaching fractions. You can also go for a fractions game.
It’s interesting to tell you that students may also use LEGOS by placing all the bricks side by side and then count them all to find equations.
However, another important teaching trick is finding the area and parameter. They can simply count the studs on the brick to find the area and for parameter ask them to put the bricks on the grid paper and then they will have to color the area of LEGO brick on paper.
In addition to this students can also be taught multiple fraction groups by using LEGOS bricks.
For this purpose, a LEGO brick can act as one group and then find out the multiple equations the students will count the studs.
For teaching mean median and mode all you have to do is ask the kids to build towers of LEGOS bricks and classify them with colors.
Set a timer and allow them to build the tallest tower till the time is up after that you have to take their tower apart and then classify it to colors. By using the data of the tower students can easily find the mean median and mode for their LEGOS colors.
You can also teach some other basic math skills such as addition and less than greater than. So Alycia is right to say that these bricks are possibly packed math manipulative.
