I am running a lego club in my school at the moment with two colleagues and the children love it. As a result I have loads of lego. LOADS! A few children in the class can’t attend lego club after school so I want to try incorporate using it into our learning somehow so they get time to play with the lego too. I did some research and here’s a few ideas I came across:
- Maths: make symmetrical shapes using lego piece.
- Maths- make patterns using lego pieces
- Maths- use lego to make numbers in tens and units form.
- Maths- fractions-make fractions using different coloured lego pieces
- Maths- data- make a bar chart using lego
- English- create spelling words using lego pieces
- Science- create a variety of tower structures and check which is the most stable
- Science- make a balloon powered lego car and see if it will move
- Science- make a structure using a given amount of lego blocks with your partner
- Science- using lego make a ramp and explore how different gradients affect speed
