One of my dreams is to have a class set of Legos to help students in math. My students have so many different learning styles- kinesthetic, visual, etc. but all learn so well with hands-on, real-life experiences. My goal is to integrate Legos into math to teach concepts such as equivalent fractions, comparing fractions, area, perimeter, shapes, and even multiplication and division with arrays! For fractions, students can compare brick sizes on their block bases and choose blocks to compare. They can experiment with the blocks and visually see how 2 four-brick blocks are the same as 1 eight-brick block (so much more engaging than looking at pictures or drawing it too). They can use the blocks to find the area and perimeter of a shape, and create shapes with specified areas and perimeters. They can create shapes with Legos in geometry and add sides to see how shapes are related. Legos can help them see multiplication through arrays (the bricks themselves are arrays) or use the bricks to create arrays representing multiplication or division problems. All of these skills are national math learning standards, and it is so important for students to learn them. Unfortunately, standardized test prep makes many students feel disengaged and overwhelmed. With Legos to help teach concepts, who wouldn't be excited and engaged? I feel that my students will be eager to learn and soar beyond our wildest dreams with these awesome math manipulatives.
