Math + Play = The Perfect Combo!

Learning about area and perimeter is so much more fun with LEGOs! These colorful bricks aren’t just for building castles—they’re perfect for creating shapes and measuring space.

Ms Amanda is using LEGO bricks to help her student visualize math concepts in a hands-on way. Each brick becomes a unit of measurement, making it super easy (and fun!) to count units around the edge (perimeter) and inside (area) of shapes they build.

We love incorporating children’s toys into learning—because when kids are playing, they’re also growing their brains!

Our tutors love using visual tools like this to help students truly understand what they’re learning.
