Math
- The student learned about measurements and dimensions by following the instructions to build the Lego car, understanding the ratio and proportions to create a balanced design.
- Counting and basic addition were used while assembling the pieces and determining how many 2x4 blocks or 1x2 plates were needed for each section of the car.
- The concept of symmetry was introduced as they had to ensure that both sides of the car were built evenly to make the car look symmetric.
Encourage continued development by asking the student to modify the design and consider how it affects the measurements, proportions, and symmetry of the car. Additionally, you can introduce challenges such as building a parking garage for the car, incorporating concepts of area and space measurements.
