In this art-related activity, learners make a coin rubbing—a process similar to what archeologists may do with ancient artifacts. This activity can be used in connection with a history or art lesson.

In this activity, learners "dance" (move back and forth at varying speeds) by reading a graph. This is a kinesthetic way to help learners interpret and understand how motion is graphed.

In this math activity, learners play a game and identify patterns with fun moves and sounds. Discover how dancing and signing involve patterns.

In this art/science/math activity, young learners are introduced to the concept of symmetry in nature.

In this Cyberchase activity, use grid coordinates to share secret pictures with a friend. Color squares of a grid to make a picture (like a smiley face) that you keep hidden from the other person.

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

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF) has learners create models of butterfly wings.

In this math lesson, learners follow step-by-step directions for making tangram pieces out of folded and torn paper. First, learners read "Grandfather Tang's Story" by Ann Tompert.

In this activity, learners will engineer a new shape and use it to create a new pattern with no wasted space.

In this activity, learners use pattern blocks and mirrors to explore symmetry. Learners work in pairs and build mirror images of each other's designs.

In this activity, learners investigate balance and symmetry by designing a symmetrical butterfly, using a paper cutout.

In this math activity, learners experiment with the concept of symmetry.

In this math activity, learners make toothpick designs by following simple patterns.

In this Cyberchase activity, learners make carpenter's squares and use them to measure square corners. Learners cut out the carpenter's square template and attach it to tagboard.

Learners build pan pipes out of drinking straws by cutting them to different lengths. Then, learners make music by blowing across the straws and playing some well-known songs.

Using information from the My Place in Space lithograph, learners write and/or draw a postcard to friends and family as if they had gone beyond the interstellar boundary of our Solar System, into the

In this activity, learners make their own binary code bracelets by translating their initials into 0s and 1s represented by beads of 2 different colors.

In this activity, learners compete to be the first to win twenty counting pieces. First, learners draw patterns on only one side of four craft sticks.

Learners make a counting/estimating jar to exchange with friends or bring home.

Learners create an Incan counting device called a quipu (pronounced kee-poo).
