Lego Maths

This is a simple provocation set up with some magnetic numerals and Legos. No questions asked or hints given. Just what can you do with a bunch of numbers and Legos?

Here is what they came up with. First obvious choice to both of them was to arrange legos from 1 to 10.

Then Sid started to make two digit numbers and wanted to know what they are.

This is their first interest shown towards learning numbers larger than 20.

Then Sid tried a little bit of number comparison by building towers and finding out the tallest and thereby the bigger number.

Nidhi resorted to sorting of legos by color and then counting them.

Now she declared "I want to count to 100!". But there was not enough Legos and so she came up with the idea of counting pattern board manipulatives. 

So out came beautiful patterns. Patterning as well as counting! Now that's a treat :)
