- Counted and grouped the different color Lego pieces needed for the shark build.
- Practiced sorting the Lego pieces based on specific attributes such as color and shape.
- Learnt to follow step-by-step instructions to assemble the Lego shark.
- Measured the length, width, and height of the completed Lego shark using a ruler.
- Calculated the sum of the lengths of each Lego piece used in the build.
- Observed and understood symmetry as the Lego shark's body and fins were formed symmetrically.
- Recognized geometric shapes such as rectangles, squares, and triangles in the Lego shark's structure.
To further develop math skills through the Lego shark build activity, encourage the child to:
- Explore more complex Lego builds that involve different shapes and require more advanced measurement and calculation skills.
- Create a Lego ocean scene using various shapes and sizes of Lego pieces, and calculate the total number of pieces used.
- Practice estimating and measuring the distance the Lego shark can swim based on its size and speed, using a measuring tape or ruler.
