mountains27 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I must find some way to incorporate legos into my sons math instruction. He is ADHD but legos speak to him in a way nothing else seems to and I think I could get him to sit through some math lessons better if legos were involved! Does anyone have any good resources they could share? He is 7 and working around early 2nd grade level, addition/subtraction to 20 is what we have been trying to work on lately.

arliemaria Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I print Lego Quest to send with my son when he plays with his legos at grandmas. I have her snap a picture of whatever he built that day. We keep all our "tiny" legos over there just because I can't deal with them all over the house with little ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadia Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 This http://www.scholastic.com/teachers/top-teaching/2013/12/using-lego-build-math-concepts My boys dislike math manipulatives so they used Legos instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdventuresinHomeschooling Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I would use legos as counting blocks and making stacks of ten with various colors to show the numbers. Very similar to counting cubes and the base ten rods. We don't always need fancy manipulatives. Legos and beans would suffice for many things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
