Legos

Math

• The child learned counting and number recognition by counting the number of Legos they had and sorting them by color.
• They practiced addition and subtraction by building structures with different numbers of Legos and then taking some away or adding more.
• They learned about symmetry by building symmetrical designs with Legos.
• The child practiced measurement by comparing the length and height of different Lego structures.

To continue developing math skills related to Legos, encourage the child to explore more complex building techniques that involve spatial reasoning and geometry. They can try building larger structures with specific measurements or follow Lego building instructions that involve more advanced math concepts like fractions and proportions.
