Building Math Skills with Legos: The Math City Activity
Enon United Methodist Preschool recently held a fun and educational activity that combined math and creativity. The children built a math city out of Legos, using a city plan drawn on a mat that included roads and neighborhoods.
The objective of the game is simple: roll a die and build a Lego house of the same height as the number on the die. Then, place the Lego house on a square on the city plan mat. The drawn squares on the mat represent the places for building Lego houses.
Playing the game helps children develop their counting, building, and graphic skills. It also makes math more interactive and enjoyable for preschoolers.
To replicate this activity at home or in the classroom, download the Math City city plan mat for free at the bottom of this post.
