Rainbow Lego Blocks and Pattern Combinations

This.... will never.. happen.

I can prove my point to you, here's the Lego board of the multiplications of 1 dozen 5 -

Too hard!

 

[Kyriakos]

Simple lego models like the images below can be built by most of the 6 to 8 years old boys with the instruction books.

What exactly is this lego piece supposed to signify? If it is some numbering base, shouldn't you have said so in the OP?

Also, where are the rest of the needed tools to solve something of note, eg lego latin squares.

In order to build these lego sets, the kids don't need to understand how the math base works as long as the instruction books are provided. They are only the graphic patterns being generated through the different math bases.

 

[Kyriakos]

If the blocks actually are needed to be like this so as to build something specific, it could help.
Also, it would be useful to examine if 196 is a lynchrel number (it is, but a proof is needed, so why not try to gain intuition by using lego).

I can't tell if you're being serious? No kid would ever want to build this.

The entire board can be part of the side wing of a space ship, depend on the whole lego mechanics attach to. Stick such board into the bottom of a landing bay can work as well.

Perhaps everyone understands the lego boards can be constructed into the decimal base just as easy.

I mean, or one can just build a space ship.
That sounds like more fun.

Nobody will want to build only 1 castle wall. I enjoy to stick the math stuffs into the lego blocks without other people noticing them unless I tell them.

Only 8 boards are required to construct from 2 to 9 multiplications for the decimal base.

There isn't a well-known school exam about building the space ship.

 

[Ajidica]

If you want to sneak math stuff in, more power to you. But you have to make it fun first.
With my legos when I was younger, if I wanted a castle, I built a castle. If I wanted a space ship/airship, I built that. If I wanted an Inca temple for Indiana Jones to run from a dinosaur using Lego moviemaker, I built that.
I'm genuinely not seeing why you think anyone, apart from those really into dozenal counting, would have any interest in building a 12 row slab.

This isn't sneaky enough. Like I said, more poignant conditioning is needed, including Soma theory.

Unless you don't care that when the aliens come we will still be in the stone age compared to them.

Not every alien counts in the decimal base, some in octal, some in dozenal depending on how many fingers they have.

If they have 4 fingers per hand, then it's [Octal] 4 + 4 =10
If they have 6 fingers per hand, then it's [Dozenal] 6 + 6 =10

4d aliens aren't like that, although their shadow system may be compatible.
According to my calculations we need to at least be aware of how primes are scattered in shadows of 4d, if we are to hope to hit the landing craft.

Sorry, I meant "landing" craft.

 

[tuckerkao]

4d aliens aren't like that, although their shadow system may be compatible.

They may use different numerical symbols too, but every alien group will have their own language and math systems, most likely not the ones we are familiar with.

 

[Kyriakos]

Fine by me, my view is that math is anthropic at any rate.

How about tell the boys to wear hot pink clothes? Colors are created to be available to everyone.

Just as a point of information, centuries ago pink was considered a color that men wore. Women were supposed to wear darker colors, so they didn't draw too much attention to themselves.

As in nature, in which the male birds (in particular) have the fancy red, pink, and blue plumage, men in medieval and Renaissance times often wore bold, bright colors to draw attention to themselves.

If you want a dedicated Lego thread, I'd advise starting one yourself.

Maybe this one could be renamed, if the OP is agreeable.

Here's something fun: Back in the '90s, my household in the SCA decided to autocrat an extended feast (part 1 for the spring Silver Arrow Feast and part 2 for the autumn Harvest Feast). We decided that the feast would consist of dishes from various countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea, as our ship sailed its way around from port to port.

We debated what to do about the Rock of Gibraltar, as a bridge between Spain and Africa... and then I remembered that the bulk food store we shopped at carried candy LEGO bricks.

So we bought a few kilos of them and when that part of the feast happened, the guests were served with bowls of bricks... and told that they were visiting a fortress on the Rock, but it had been damaged and they had to rebuild it.

What followed was a few dozen people playing with candy LEGO bricks at a medieval feast (our household enjoyed incorporating weird little twists into the overall storyline; candy bricks aren't historically correct, but the story behind it was entirely plausible).

Of course they could just eat the bricks if they preferred, but then wouldn't have the fun of trying to build a small fort.

@tuckerkao all your ideas are so inane, what is even your deal

Since these flat blocks are completely meaningless to anyone unfamiliar with Tuckerkao's base 12 obsession, it's not really a case of "sneaking them in". They would need some resemblance to - well, anything. Or some fun functionality. Something.

I spent a lot of time playing with lego as a kid. I was also very good at maths. But I can safely say that if you'd shown me this between the ages of 6 and 8 you'd have received at best a blank look, and more likely a blunt statement that you were being weird and stupid. Followed by me going off to build a castle or spaceship, and ignoring you on all subjects in future. I'll be honest, you're not getting a much better reaction from adult me most of the time.

Use lego bricks to teach math isn't my idea, they can function on any given math base, there are many websites showing those online.

It's a free world, people can write with their left hands. Lego toys are meant to be purchased by both genders, there are more subcategories for the boys as the recommendations such as Star Wars and all other battling models.

The girl models are the Friends and Princess types. Each product has its own 4 or 5 digits of numbers.

How about tell the boys to wear hot pink clothes? Colors are created to be available to everyone.

You should stop now.
