Just wanted to say a huge thank-you to everyone who interacted with my posts during August. If you missed any, the full collection of prompts is available on my blog: alisonkiddle.co.uk/category/le
If you use them in any way, or if they inspire you to do your own Lego Maths, I'd love to hear about it!

For the final day of Daily , three squares which share the special relationship that the smaller two areas sum to the larger area. Can you find other whole numbers that satisfy this relationship?

Daily Day 29. These rectangles are made with reds arranged in landscape and blues arranged in portrait. How many ways could you make a rectangle this size and shape? Thanks to @luna for the inspiration for this one!

Daily Day 28: Which one doesn't belong?
Can you find a reason why each shape doesn't belong with the other three? Can you design your own Lego 'Which one doesn't belong'? alisonkiddle.co.uk/daily-lego-

@alisonkiddle my son noticed “it’s a corner of a bigger pattern” and “each layer makes a square number”. He spotted that each layer adds a prime number, but also conjectured the next would add 9 so changed his mind to “odd”.

@alisonkiddle very slow off the mark here, finally turned our attention to . Day 1 my son: “I noticed they’re all squares. I wondered why Alison chose red and yellow.” He doesn’t remember playing Lego with you back in 2019 - half his life ago!

What questions could you ask?
Here's a couple to start you off:
More red? More yellow? How do you know?
How would you create instructions to build this shape to read to someone who couldn't see what you were looking at?
