Welcome, master builder! Get ready to use your building brain to solve some fun LEGO-themed puzzles. Read each section carefully and write your answers in the spaces provided.
Part 1: Brick Math
Solve these brick-tastic word problems!
1. You are building a wall that is 10 studs long. If you use only 2x4 bricks (which are 4 studs long), how many bricks will you need to make one row that is 10 studs long? Oh wait, that doesn't work perfectly! How many 2x4 bricks can you use, and what size brick would you need to finish the row?
2. A standard LEGO minifigure is about 4 cm tall. If you built a tower that was 60 cm tall, how many minifigures could you stack on top of each other to reach the same height?
3. You have a big bucket with 320 LEGO bricks. You want to share them equally among yourself and 3 friends. How many bricks does each person get?

Part 4: The Tower Challenge
Read the clues carefully to figure out the correct order of the colored bricks in the tower, from bottom to top.
• The tower is 5 bricks high.
• The bottom brick is yellow.
• The red brick is directly below the green brick.
• The blue brick is somewhere above the red brick.
• The black brick is at the very top.
Write the correct order of colors from bottom to top:
Bottom:
2nd:
3rd:
4th:
Top:
Answer Key
Part 1: Brick Math
- You can use two 2x4 bricks (2 x 4 = 8 studs). You would need a 2x2 brick to finish the 10-stud row (8 + 2 = 10).
- 15 minifigures (60 cm ÷ 4 cm = 15).
- 80 bricks each (320 bricks ÷ 4 people = 80).
