Supply List
Students will need access to a LEGO®* base (10” x 10”) and a set of LEGO®* bricks in a variety of rectangular sizes. Students should also have a pencil or pen and notebook or loose leaf paper. Gridded/graph paper is recommended, but not required. *The brand is unimportant — students can use another LEGO®-like toy and the concepts will be the same. I use this kit: https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00NAPJ8DM. If you look at the "What's in the Bag?" picture, you can see what kinds of brick sizes and shapes I like to have on hand. Only rectangular bricks are used in this class. I also pre-sort my bricks into bags according to size/shape (ex: all the 8x2 bricks are in a bag, all the 4x4 are in a bag, all the 6x1 are in a bag, etc). If possible, it is helpful if learners do the same, but I recognize that this level of sorting takes a significant amount of time!

Teacher expertise and credentials
I love making math visible to students. When I work with visual and hands-on models, it helps my students internalize core concepts and build number sense. I have been teaching with these kinds of models for 12+ years and I have fun doing it! Reviews
