They absolutely Love it! Sometimes I encourage the learners to form groups to promote teamwork. Then I give all the groups a certain number of blocks to use their imaginations in constructing a person, place, or thing – which I may provide. Each group counts the number of blocks they used to construct that image. The outcome is: groups may have used more or less than other groups to construct their image.

What a good way to demonstrate the relationship between blocks and early math concepts.

The things children can build are limitless!
The worse thing is…someone always comes and knocks it down. 🙁
I’ve begun to recognize the sneer..

Yes! The block makes it more interesting because they also get to build

After currently taking a mathematics training and focusing on spatial relationships and shapes I may add more options to our block area to create more shapes, patterns, etc. Great article!
