Math
- The child learned about spatial relationships and geometry by stacking the Lego bricks to create a tower.
- Counting and number recognition were developed as the child decided how many bricks to use for each level of the tower.
- Understanding of size and measurement was practiced as the child compared and contrasted different sizes of Lego bricks to create a stable tower.
Building with Lego can continue to enhance your child's math skills. Encourage them to create patterns or use specific sequences of colors or sizes of bricks in their towers to reinforce concepts of symmetry, ratios, and patterns.
