As if LEGOs weren’t enough of an awesome childhood toy, one teacher has found another awesome educational/developmental use for this super-toy – as a math education aid! Alycia Zimmerman, a 3rd-grade teacher in New York, uses them to explain fractions, squares and other mathematical concepts.
“In the classroom, the tiny bricks are now my favorite possibility-packed math manipulative,” she writes in an article for Scholastic that goes more into depth about these bricks’ potential uses.

Hmmm it’s very much LEGOs... You see a parking lot full of one brand of car you say “it’s full of Chevys” not “it’s full of Chevy” you go to footlocker and you see a wall of one brand of shoes you you said “Jordan’s” or “adidas” Because you know that’s how the English language works. So you have a pile of LEGO bricks on the floor you say it’s a pile of LEGOs....
