These LEGO sets will help my students to develop proportional and algebraic reasoning skills that they will need to be successful in high school and college level mathematics. Working in groups, they will build fraction, ratio, and percent models, exploring the concept of equivalency as the size of the whole changes. They will build growing patterns using various colors and shapes, exploring the concepts of linear, quadratic, and exponential growth. The visual and hands-on learning will help my students make new connections to numbers and quantities, and they will learn to think of mathematics as a subject of creativity and exploration.
