Preschool STEM: Block Center
MATH is this week’s feature for our Preschool STEM virtual series. Children learn best through play and preschool math can be as easy as building a toy train. Try out this “math lesson” with your little ones!
Build & Measure Block Center: Activity & Conversation Starters
Materials
- Ruler or tape measure
- Building materials, such as Legos, Duplos, toy blocks, or even cereal boxes or empty pop cans!
1. Can you name the numerals on the rulers?
2. Build a tower with your building materials. How high is it?
3. Is a tower built with Lego Duplos or wood blocks more stable? How can you make it more sturdy?
This is engineering!
4. Build a long train by laying items end to end. Measure how long it is. How many pieces did you use?
Share a picture of your towers! Email us at ysstaff@eauclaire.lib.wi.us or share via Facebook.
