Description
These five math challenges engage students using Lego bricks to build towers, models, and solve problems. Challenges address a variety of upper elementary and middle school math skills including:
- adding fractions with unlike denominators
- finding equivalent fractions
- finding a fraction of a whole
- adding percentages
- finding a percentage of a whole
- area and perimeter
- factors
- prime numbers
- composite numbers
- Goldbach's conjecture
- multiplication
- scale factor
- proportional relationships
- conversion within a measurement system
- solving multi-step problems
- operations with decimals
The tasks involve provide students with a physical application of the mathematics they are learning and a visual representation of some challenging math concepts.

This is a wonderful resource; my students have really been enjoying it.
We did this for LEGO Day- so great!
Super!
Used for class. Students loved it
This is a great resource and suits what I need it for to a T
Thank you for creating the material.
Easy to use
Was looking for a good way to incorporate legos I had purchased for class. Thanks

CCSS4.MD.A.3
Apply the area and perimeter formulas for rectangles in real world and mathematical problems. For example, find the width of a rectangular room given the area of the flooring and the length, by viewing the area formula as a multiplication equation with an unknown factor.
CCSS4.OA.B.4
Find all factor pairs for a whole number in the range 1-100. Recognize that a whole number is a multiple of each of its factors. Determine whether a given whole number in the range 1-100 is a multiple of a given one-digit number. Determine whether a given whole number in the range 1-100 is prime or composite.
CCSS5.NF.A.1
Add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators (including mixed numbers) by replacing given fractions with equivalent fractions in such a way as to produce an equivalent sum or difference of fractions with like denominators. For example, 2/3 + 5/4 = 8/12 + 15/12 = 23/12. (In general, 𝘢/𝘣 + 𝘤/𝘥 = (𝘢𝘥 + 𝘣𝘤)/𝘣𝘥.)
