LEGO

Math

• The child learned about shapes and spatial awareness by building different structures using LEGO.
• They practiced counting and grouping by sorting LEGO bricks based on color or size.
• Through building structures, the child gained a basic understanding of geometry and symmetry.
• They also learned about addition and subtraction by adding or removing LEGO bricks to create different designs.

Encourage the child to continue their math learning through LEGO by challenging them to build more complex structures with specific shapes or incorporating mathematical patterns into their designs. You can also introduce basic measurement concepts by asking them to build towers of a certain height or length using LEGO bricks.
