- Counted the number of mega blocks used to build the house
- Identified and named different shapes of the mega blocks
- Compared the sizes of different mega blocks
- Measured the length, width, and height of the house using mega blocks
- Explored patterns and symmetry while arranging the mega blocks

- Calculate the area and perimeter of each room in the house
- Experiment with different arrangements of mega blocks to create different shapes and structures
- Explore the concept of volume by filling the mega block house with smaller objects and counting how many fit inside
- Practice multiplication and division by creating arrays of mega blocks
