As if LEGOs weren’t enough of an awesome childhood toy, one teacher has found another awesome educational/developmental use for this super-toy – as a math education aid! Alycia Zimmerman, a 3rd-grade teacher in New York, uses them to explain fractions, squares and other mathematical concepts.

“In the classroom, the tiny bricks are now my favorite possibility-packed math manipulative,” she writes in an article for Scholastic that goes more into depth about these bricks’ potential uses.

There is a beast with heart of cold stone that dashes like lightning, shreds flesh from bone. // Bewitched by this beast, I fell to my knees. My mouth babbled madness and mumbled soft pleas. // I stared down the ravenous, gnashing dark maw of a cute cuddly kitten with yarn in its paw

Lego. Or Lego bricks. Not LEGOs. Just ask the company itself.

Hmmm it’s very much LEGOs... You see a parking lot full of one brand of car you say “it’s full of Chevys” not “it’s full of Chevy” you go to footlocker and you see a wall of one brand of shoes you you said “Jordan’s” or “adidas” Because you know that’s how the English language works. So you have a pile of LEGO bricks on the floor you say it’s a pile of LEGOs....
