Lego Math Final

This document provides suggestions for using LEGO sets to support a child's math development by exploring quantities, grouping, and patterns. It recommends gathering 5 LEGO sets with amounts of 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 bricks each, labeling the sets, and challenging the child to build something with each set. It also suggests exploring how the sets can be broken down, combined, or grouped in different ways and noticing the patterns that emerge.

Can I support their Math Development?

Label each set with its


number. Each set can
GATHER FIVE SETS OF be a different color
1 DIFFERENT AMOUNTS OF LEGO BRICKS
(5, 10, 15, 20, 25)
Challenge your child
to build something
with each set

“What do you think you


could build with each
amount?” GUIDE WITH INITIAL
“How does having more
or less help you?”
QUESTIONS, CHALLENGE THEM TO
BUILD SOMETHING WITH EACH SET, 2
Build alongside them USE EACH SET EXACTLY
with similar constraints
and vocalize your own
obstacles to success “What happens when
you take apart pieces
from the set of 10 LEGO?”
“What are different

BROKEN DOWN OR COMBINED
ways you could combine
to make 10?”
“What happens when you
combine the colors?”

Draw two separate


circles on a piece of
paper. As your child
makes combinations of
5, 10, etc., help them
ENCOURAGE VISUAL AND
WRITTEN GROUPING 4
notice how each
different combination
reaches the same total

Math Notice patterns when


Tip exploring quantities. Rather than “what is 4+1?”,
try “what happens when we group 4 things with 1 thing?
What about when we group 3 with 2? What do
you notice?”
