It was like watching a room full of little engineers come to life. We've been using the LEGOs primarily to explore key math concepts like addition, subtraction, patterns, place value, and even basic fractions. One memorable project involved building towers to represent different number combinations that add up to 10. Not only did this help students visualize number bonds, but it also made abstract concepts more concrete and fun. The hands-on experience kept even the most reluctant learners engaged and eager to participate.\r\n\r\nAs we continue to incorporate LEGOs into our math lessons, students are becoming more confident problem-solvers. They're beginning to think critically about math and work collaboratively to build solutions. Right now, we're starting a unit on multiplication, and students are using LEGOs to create equal groups and arrays—giving them a strong visual understanding of what multiplication really means. These resources have truly transformed our math time into something our students look forward to every day, and we're so grateful for the opportunity to learn through play.","fullyFundedDate":1652378706588,"projectUrl":"project/lego-bricks-for-math-facts/6429848/","projectTitle":"LEGO Bricks For Math Facts","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Flores","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp559207_orig.jpg?crop=1134,1134,x0,y154&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1651691556195","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/559207"},{"teacherId":8431283,"projectId":8694080,"letterContent":"I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the support you have provided to my classroom.
