Watch how this photographer captured the LEGOs. No denying the fact that as a child, you just couldn't get enough of them. LEGOs were the most chimeric dreams we had back in our childhood. And, fortunately, for our lil' brothers and sisters, a teacher has found a new way to enhance this experience- as a mathematics educational 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 said in an article published in the Scholastic, explaining the potential of these bricks.
This methodology of teaching could muster the interest in students who don't like math much and proves to be effective in building the basic blocks of understanding through these cool bricks.
