Math
- The 3-year-old student has learned about spatial awareness and geometry by building and stacking the Lego pieces to create a tower.
- Through counting the number of Lego pieces used and comparing different sizes and shapes, the student has developed basic counting and comparison skills.
- The activity also provides an opportunity for the student to understand concepts of addition and subtraction as they add or remove Lego pieces from the tower.
Encourage the student to explore patterns and shapes by incorporating different colored and shaped Lego pieces into their towers. You can also introduce the concept of estimation by asking them to guess how many pieces they will need to make a taller tower.
