Ms. Richelle Votaw's
Lego Class at O.W.
Dillon's 21st CCLC
used Tree Maps to
categorize Lego
Bricks by name. Each
group was given a
bag containing cards
labeling the types
of Lego Bricks such
as 2x2, 2x3, 2x4,
etc. The students
then chose actual
Lego Bricks that
matched each card to
create the Tree Map.
Richelle Votaw's
students create all
different kinds of
Thinking Maps in
their classroom at
O.W. Dillon.
