Learn Math with LEGO

Teaching fractions can be easier if you start with something a child is familiar with, like LEGO bricks. This introductory lesson is only good for the simplest fractions fractions based on a total of eight pips, but those are the ones they'll be using the rest of their lives to calculate parts of dollars and gallons (in America, that is). Seems like a genius idea to me, but I've never had LEGO bricks. Is this something schools and parents have been doing all along? -via Geeks Are Sexy

I was pretty good at fractions because I knew how to cook. When you are doubling a recipe, you have to figure out how much is 2/3 cup and 2/3 cup. This Lego thing is great too.

"Do Not Lean on the Table." Nevermind, the table will almost definitely become slanted over time. Then there's the chalk stains that will eventually become indelible. Nice try, though.

my friend has one of their earlier convertable couches. circa the 1940's. I doubt this one from the 70's is a prototype as my friends predates this one by about 40 years. it is for sale if anyone is interested e-mail at sarahlupagus@yahoo.com

As well I should mention the construction of her couch/pool table is markedly different than the one you've shown. It is extremely sturdy. They don't make 'em like they used to, I guess.
