Materials Required:
LEGO bricks in various sizes and colors
Paper strips with fraction numbers written on them
LEGO boards or baseplates (optional, for building)
Steps Involved:
Preparation: Attach paper strips with fraction numbers to the LEGO bricks or boards, indicating the fractions they represent.
Activity Introduction: Explain to students that they will use LEGO bricks to build and visualize fractions.
Building Fractions: Have students lay out LEGO bricks side by side or build towers to represent different fractions, according to the numbers on the paper strips.
Fraction Comparisons: Encourage students to compare their LEGO fraction constructions, discussing how different configurations represent various fractions.
Discussion and Review: Review the fraction representations created by the students and discuss their findings and strategies.
