HANGING AROUND

• Children see how many bricks they can hang
off the edge of their desk. Start with one
brick going off the edge of the table.
• Add a brick to go down - decide where to add
the next brick in order to balance the model
on the edge of the desk.

Variations:
• Work with a partner and see how far under
the table you can build using the combined
bricks.
• Work in threes - see how far you can add
bricks under the table until it all collapses.

Q: How many bricks do you need on top of
the table to balance your model?
Q: What is the least number of bricks on top
of the table in relation to the length of the
model below the desk?

BUILDING

NUMBERS

• Children work individually with their 6 bricks.
• Children build any numbers using their 6 bricks.

Variations:
• Work with a partner and build the numbers using
the digital format / lines.
