LEGOs

Math

• The child learned basic counting and number recognition by counting the number of LEGOs used in each building.
• The child practiced addition and subtraction by adding or removing specific numbers of LEGOs from their structures.
• The child learned about shapes and spatial reasoning by building with different LEGO pieces and creating structures with specific shapes.
• The child practiced measurement and estimation by comparing the sizes of different LEGO bricks and predicting how many bricks would be needed to build a certain structure.

For continued development, encourage the child to explore more complex math concepts with LEGOs, such as multiplication and division. They can create arrays using LEGO bricks and practice solving multiplication problems or divide a certain number of bricks among different structures.
