Learning Counting and Cardinality Using LEGO Bricks
Student Edition

Dr. Shirley Disseler
       This is the student edition to accompany Teaching Fractions Using LEGO® Bricks and should be used in conjunction with that book.
        In Learning Counting and Cardinality Using LEGO® Bricks, Dr. Shirley Disseler has developed activities that work to help students learn how to count and understand cardinality, using a common toy available in most classrooms and homes— LEGO® bricks!
        Number recitation is only the start of a child’s true understanding of counting and cardinality. When students learn to count on, count back, skip-count, and use one-to-one correspondence, they develop a solid base of fluency with numbers. Even before they understand any other mathematical concepts, students can model the process of counting with LEGO® bricks to help visualize the math.
        In this book, the hands-on activities using LEGO® bricks help students learn:
• pattern recognition
• skip-counting
• jump numbers
• concepts of more than and less than
• one-to-one correspondence
        The book starts at the most basic concepts and focuses on a specific topic in each chapter. Most students learn these concepts between grades K – 2.
       Using LEGO® bricks to model math provides a universal language. Children everywhere recognize this manipulative.
       It’s fun to learn when you’re using LEGO® bricks

“The visual models helped my students see and understand how equivalent fractions really work. The activities are super easy to follow and make learning operations with fractions fun for both the students and the teacher!”
