Blocks have been helping kids learn math, engineering, and principals of design for at least 300 years. No matter what they are constructed from--plastic, maple, straws, paper cups, sticks--materials for building provide rich opportunities for children to children developed skills--collaboration, persistence, problem-solving. Some of my students are experienced at working and playing in this way. Others, however, are much more familiar with virtual, and largely solitary, play. Having building materials readily available in the classroom would help ensure that all my students have many chances to build for real. These magnetic building tiles are sturdy, uniform, intuitive and easy for children to clean up. They encourage group building projects, but also invite individual play. With these, children will no doubt build castles, tunnels, boxes for treasure and traps for dragons. Wouldn't you like to see what else they create? In our classroom, these tiles would be used during choice time, at indoor recess and during dismissal. Each afternoon, my students and I have a 90-minute block for inquiry-- the exploration of ideas about storytelling, patterns, form, function, and how the world works. These would be foundational materials to help guide some of these inquiries.
