Math
- The child has learned spatial awareness and geometry concepts as they built the lego structure. They had to carefully plan and arrange the lego pieces to create a stable structure.
- The child has practiced counting and basic arithmetic skills as they sorted and counted the lego pieces before using them in the structure.
- The child has developed problem-solving skills as they encountered challenges while building the lego structure and had to find solutions to make it stable.
Continued development can include challenging the child to build more complex structures using different types of lego pieces. They can also be encouraged to measure and compare the size of the structures they build.
