Lego + Math = Fun & Learning!

Lego Math Time!




Have you ever noticed that Lego's have dots on them and they may be great for making multiplication and fraction Math problems?




This was the question that was posed to the students.


They all had 10 minutes to build and then had to make a drawing of their creation and make a Math problem that went along with the blocks and the number of dots on the blocks.


Like if their are four dots on the top of block, two by two, this would be two times two.


As you can see from the creations the students had their work cut out for them.





















The students came up with great multiplication and fractional problems for their creations.


Many of the students found that this helped them to see the multiplication problems!



In the end:
Lego's + Math = Fun and Learning!
