BuildToExpress Core Set 45110

The BuildToExpress Core Set consists of 200 LEGO® elements, which were carefully selected to provide a broad spectrum of "ready-made metaphors."  An Activity Pack containing practical guidance on working with the BuildToExpress concept complements this set.

Bricks:

Each BuildToExpress Core Set includes 200 LEGO elements and a base plate, all delivered in a convenient storage bin.

The colorful bricks, accessories and minifigures were chosen with five criteria in mind:

• To allow for opportunities to free build with traditional LEGO bricks that come in a variety of colors and sizes.

• To contain elements that enable movement in a model.

• To enable students to create scenes and models which encourage them to talk about everyday experiences from their own lives.

• To offer students a range of elements that can be used as ready-made metaphors, helping them to explain ideas they have on a particular topic.

• To invite students to assign personal significance and subjective metaphors to the bricks in their models.

• One set contains the LEGO elements needed for one student.
