Learning Counting and Cardinality Using LEGO Bricks - Shirley Disseler - Bog

In Learning Counting and Cardinality Using LEGO(R) 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(R) 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(R) bricks to help visualize the math. In this book, the hands-on activities using LEGO(R) 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(R) bricks to model math provides a universal language. Children everywhere recognize this manipulative. It's fun to learn when you're using LEGO(R) bricks!
