Teacher Uses LEGOs To Explain Math To Schoolchildren
465Kviews
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.

Ha! That's a really smart and creative way to teach a child! Why didn't they teach us like that?!
They die. A Abakus ist exactly that But without advertising shit
I dunno
LEGO ... No S required
Not to argue the point, but no S for the Lego company name but yes for the pieces.
Incorrect. The plural of LEGO is LEGO.
The pieces are bricks. Calling them Legos is technically wrong.
Lego. Or Lego bricks. Not LEGOs. Just ask the company itself.
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....
Lego is still just a brand name, not a name for a piece. You can say "Lego bricks" or "Lego pieces", but never "Legos", because there is no such thing as "a Lego".
Only in the USA. Everywhere else does not use LEGOs.
So...how many LEGO are on the floor? Most people just say Legos. It makes life just a smidgen easier.
You say either "how many Lego bricks/pieces" or just "how many bricks/pieces". Never ever Legos. Well, you can...if you're ignorant and just don't care.
Still wrong
MathS on the other hand :-p
