In Fraction Division Using LEGO(R) Bricks-Teacher Edition, Dr. Shirley Disseler has developed activities that work to help students learn how to divide fractions, using a common toy available in most classrooms and homes-LEGO(R) bricks! Fractions typically make up the largest percentage of most standardized tests and are one of the most complicated mathematical content areas for elementary school students. Too often, students do not understand why they need to know how to compute with fractions or why certain procedures work. The activities in this book provide clear visual representations of fractions and the operation of multiplication. Students learn the "why" behind the math, not simply the rote procedures for dividing fractions. In this book, the hands-on activities using LEGO(R) bricks help students learn how to: - conceptualize what fraction division means - divide a fraction by a fraction - divide a whole number by a fraction - divide a mixed number by a fraction - use fraction division in real-world situations The book starts at the most basic concepts and focuses on a specific topic in each chapter. Most students learn these concepts between grades 4 - 6. Using LEGO(R) bricks to model math provides a universal language. Children everywhere recognize this manipulative.

In Learning Subtraction Using LEGO(R) Bricks, Dr. Shirley Disseler has developed activities that work to help students learn how to subtract, using a common toy available in most classrooms and homes-LEGO(R) bricks! Young children have their first experiences with subtraction early, when they play games of giving some items and keeping other items. As they attach the concept of subtraction to mathematical operations, they learn important vocabulary words (minuend, subtrahend, difference). Later, repeated subtraction leads to understanding division. In this book, the hands-on activities using LEGO(R) bricks help students learn: - start unknown subtraction - change unknown subtraction - result unknown subtraction - comparisons - decomposing numbers and place value The book starts at the most basic concepts and focuses ona 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.

This is the student edition of the book "Teaching Addition Using LEGO(R) Books" and should be used in conjunction with that book. In "Learning Addition Using LEGO(R) Bricks," Dr. Shirley Disseler has developed activities that work to help students learn how to add, using a common toy available in most classrooms and homes- LEGO(R) bricks! Concepts of addition begin when young children understand how to put objects into like and unlike sets. When students learn to count on, count back, and add "one more" they are starting to comprehend addition. Direct modeling the process of addition with LEGO(R) bricks helps visualize the action of the math. In this book, the hands-on activities using LEGO(R) bricks help students learn: - joining sets - solving part-part-whole problems - comparisons - decomposing numbers - place value The book starts at the most basic concepts and focuses on a specific topic in each chapter.

In Teaching 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.
