You will need:

  • LEGO bricks or coloured blocks

  • paper

  • pencils or a marker

  • a ruler.

Instructions

  • Grab two or three big handfuls of LEGO bricks that are the same size.

  • Sort the LEGO into colours.

  • Use a ruler to draw a baseline on your piece of paper. Then line your LEGO bricks up in columns along the baseline. What do you notice?

  • Describe or write what you can see in your graph.

  • What colour do you have the most of?

  • Do you have any columns with the same amount?

Discuss/reflect

  • Draw a picture of your LEGO graph.

  • Why is it important to line up your LEGO bricks? What did you notice when the bricks were not lined up evenly?

  • Try taking a handful of LEGO bricks with different sized pieces. How does that change the way you can sort your bricks?
