Easy to teach. Fun to learn.
No special training is needed for parents to begin teaching with Brick Math at Home. The Teacher Editions include all the information need to guide students through the step-by-step lessons.
Use the Teacher Edition for any of the eleven math subjects. Start with the Part 1: Show Them How section of each chapter. Build the brick models, show them to your child, and discuss the math as directed.
Have your child build the same models, then draw those models and answer the questions in the companion Student Edition.
Once your student has mastered Part 1, move to the Part 2: Show What You Know section of the chapter. Have your child complete each of the problems, first by modeling with bricks and then drawing their models in the companion Student Edition.

Tips for Working with Brick Math
- Before starting Brick Math, have a conversation with your child about using bricks as a learning tool rather than a toy.
- Teach your child the language of bricks (baseplate, stud, 1x1, 1x2, etc.).
- To sanitize bricks, put them in a hosiery bag and wash them on the top rack of the dishwasher. Let bricks air dry.
Research-Based
Brick Math was developed by Dr. Shirley Disseler, Assistant Professor at High Point University. She is the foremost expert in the US on learning math with LEGO® bricks. The Brick Math method is based on theories of Constructionism and brain research. Numerous studies have shown the effectiveness of teaching math using manipulatives to incorporate a hands-on style. Brick Math builds on this body of research by using LEGO® bricks as the manipulative, adding elements of creativity and enjoyment to learning math.
