Just when you thought that LEGO couldn't get any cooler a teacher has now found a practical use for everyone's favourite childhood toy and it involves teaching children math. It's no secret that LEGO can be a brilliant educational aid, but 3rd-grade teacher Alycia Zimmerman from New York uses small blocks in order to explain fractions and other math concepts.

Zimmerman goes into great detail here on how LEGO can be used to help explain many math concepts. Great not just for the classroom but for helping kids with homework too!.
