when we are not working on the caterpillars, spiders, or sharks, we LOVE to use the legos....
take a look at all of the things we are doing with the legos...
take a look at all of the things we are doing with the legos...The children are so excited to see whose it the tallest. We have started MEASURING!
"How tall is Carter's? How tall is Trevor's?" "Whose is the tallest? Whose is the shortest?" "How many inches tall is yours?"
These are just some of the questions that we are asking the children to encourage them to measure and do math. We are using the ruler to measure, we are making charts to write our measurements, and we are making comparisons.
We made this chart to show how high our legos are!
sometimes we draw what we want to make with the legos. We count how many of each color we need, and put the legos together just like our drawing. This has really helped us start doing some math problems. "How many more do we need?" "How many should we take away?" "How many blue legos are in your picture? How many red ones are in your picture?"
We practice writing the numbers, and it is helping us recognize them.
Who knew playing with legos could lead to all of this!
