Speaking of fractions, I've been chatting with the 3rd grade team here at Brassfield about using Legos to explore ordering, comparing, adding, and subtracting fractions.
My son, Anthony, who is a 4th grader at Brassfield, was kind enough to let me raid his Lego collection (don't worry...he literally has BINS of them at home) to make these lessons come to life. He even helped me sort them. What a guy. Thanks, Anthony!
Here's an article you might find interesting that shows how all you moms and dads at home can take playing with Legos to a whole new level. Enjoy!
