In Teaching Fractions Using LEGO(R) Bricks, Dr.

Shirley Disseler has developed activities that work to help students learn the basics of fractions, using a common toy available in most classrooms and homes-LEGO(R) bricks Many students struggle with learning fractions.

Teachers struggle, too, in finding ways to teach the concepts.

LEGO(R) bricks help students learn the mathematical concepts through modeling.
