Published by SchoolAdvisor | Jun 18, 2015

Help your child understand abstract mathematical concepts better using Lego. Visual learners understand better when objects are used to demonstrate meaning. Here are ways to teach Maths at home using Lego.

1. Lego Bricks Teach Kids About Counting and Measuring

Lego Bricks can be beneficial in teaching preschoolers about counting and measuring lengths. Simply give them big blocks with numbers printed on them or ask them to measure the length of their feet or toes using Lego bricks (how many bricks long is your feet?).

2. Lego Bricks teach Sequencing: From Largest to Smallest and Vice Versa

Teach your kids ascending and descending order of numbers by placing one brick, then two bricks and then three bricks in a row. Leave gaps in the sequence so they can solve it on their own.

3. Lego Bricks Teach Kids Fractions

Your kids will love you for making the topic of fractions simple. Put Lego pieces side by side with different sizes, and compare to see which one is half the size of a rectangle or double a 2x2 piece.

Being creative with toys helps your child learn to be problem solvers from an early age. You'll be teaching them a skill for life.
