Here's a very simple activity if you have paper and scissors: make one cut, unfold, and you have a beautiful star! A great way to learn about polygons and origami mathematics.

Use geometry, a ruler, and a steady hand to create these amazing unfurling paper folds!

In this activity, learners will exercise their imaginations and artistic skills. Appropriate for all ages, learners will create unique pieces to jumpstart storytelling sessions.

Rocks are made of minerals, and minerals often have crystal shapes. In this fun activity about geometry in nature, learners create their own crystal shapes out of paper.

In this activity, learners manipulate paper to build original 3-dimensional sculptures. Appropriate for any age, learners can use fingers to tear, crumple, or fold, and if available, scissors to cut.

Los Momentos de Mixing in Math son actividades de 5 a 10 minutos que mantienen a los chicos ocupados, aprendiendo sobre el mundo, y usando matemáticas por su cuenta.

In this activity, learners get hands-on with geometry by making a polyhedron kitty sculpture.

In this activity (on pages 41-47 of PDF), learners explore tesselating geometric patterns (repeated shapes, similar to the art of M.C. Escher).

In this activity, learners explore the concept of rotational equilibrium. Learners work in teams to estimate and determine the force within a mobile design.

In this activity (page 95 of the PDF), learners create Escher Staircase models similar to those that were used by Neurolab's Spatial Orientation Team to investigate the processing of information about

In this two-part activity, learners map a navigation plan to get from Earth to Mars and back. In activity one, learners represent the orbital paths of Earth through dance and dramatic movement.

In this activity, learners of all ages will experiment with paint and printmaking.

In this activity, learners will experiment with textures, shapes, and materials and create their own unique masterpieces.

In this activity (on pages 55-66 of PDF), learners fold paper into origami shapes and then combine several identical shapes into a three-dimensional structure.

In this activity, learners follow simple directions to explore and create platonic solids.

In this activity, learners build mini-basketball courts and explore the laws of physics. Learners discover that everything you throw or shoot on earth travels in a parabola.

Have you ever heard of a camera without a lens? In this activity, learners create a pinhole camera out of simple materials. They'll see the world in a whole new way: upside down and backwards!

The goal of this activity is to design, build and test a house or toy for an animal.

In this activity, learners create 3D geometric shapes using straws and pipe cleaners.
