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.

I've learned English, ASL, Latin, Spanish, and French. However, I have only really retained fluency in English and ASL - because those are the languages I use every day.

I've studied French, Latin, koine Greek and Old Testament Hebrew. To my regret, I haven't maintained a knowledge of any of them. To my deeper regret, I didn't spend all of that time studying Spanish, which would make me more marketable as a librarian.

I used to teach my students a few words in Klingon. Alas, there's not a lot of interest in the language of love these days. Now I teach them Ewokese instead.
