Onto Round #2! This activity took a little longer than a week to complete because there were so many tedious tasks to be completed. So up next... LEGO Addition Mats!
This activity is for the students in grades K-2. They will be using hands-on, mathematical, and problem solving skills to complete this task.
How does it work?
There are laminated cards that each provide a simple addition problem (e.g. 3 + 3) and the students will write the numbers on the boxes on the right.
Second, they will place LEGO® bricks in the top and middle boxes, and then count the bricks figure out the sum. Voila!
This math activity is perfect at introducing a unique way to add for students beginning to learn these concepts.
In order for this activity to be reused over and over again, I placed the addition mat templates inside of Write and Wipe Pockets so the students can use a dry erase marker to solve the problems!
This activity took a while because the addition question cards had to be laminated, the addition mat template had to be printed and placed inside of the Write and Wipe Pockets (they were hard to find!), I had to buy dry erase markers, and search for the small lego bricks. But all the hard work paid off! I can't wait for the students to use the mats and allow it to assist them in their math learning. ;)
