Fractions

Learning fractions can be sweet and funny. Fourth grade students are doing simple calculations with fractions using chocolate squares and then Lego blocks.

Lego More to Math: The Snake.

Different challenges, more and more complicated. The goal is to build a snake with the same length and shape as the one shown in white on the right side of each statement. Really motivating and demanding.

The activity was carried out by first graders. 

Symmetry and Lego More to Math.

In September I enjoyed much the activity that Agnieska carried out with her students in Bialystok:

SYMMETRY AND LEGO MORE TO MATH

 Today I share the results of the same experience with my students from Salamanca. Dziękuję bardzo, Agnieszka...

Learning multiplication and division through LEGO

Our pupils in year two getting to know the multiplication and divsion. At the first lessons we used a lot of examples and exercises with LEGO. So they understood the new kind of operation with numbers very quickly.

Multiplication:

We counted the bricks and the number of pimples of one brick - and multiplicated. So we knew the number of all pimples.

Addition and mulitplication 

Division:

To understand the splitting with the division we splitted some numbers of Lego Bricks. The children should imagine to shaie their 20 bricks with 1 friend, 3 friends ... Afterwards we build the division task.

Maths in class 1

The children of class 1  in Primary school I.Militi, Saronno, learnt to count  with lego bricks.

They have fun learning Maths.

Math year 1

We are working in math in year one with Lego into the number space between 0 and 20. At first we doubled/ reflected with the mirror and counted.

Later on we use the Lego bricks to visualize the steps: to count to ten at first and than add the rest of the summand.
