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

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 activity, learners will turn an ordinary tray of sand into a desk-top garden for meditation.

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

In this activity, learners will practice writing while making a fun messy craft. Learners will explore texture and color as well as develop writing and fine motor skills through this activity.

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

Is a square stronger than a triangle? Use tongue depressors to build simple shapes. Then apply a little weight to them and see what happens!

In this activity, learners make a device called a phenakistoscope, which displays a continuously looping animation consisting of images drawn onto a spinning disc.

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 will explore nature by creating food for birds. Learners will develop fine motor skills and engage in nature observation through this activity.

Discover geometry by creating shapes from loops of paper. In this activity, paper loops transform to give you totally new structures when you cut them.

In this great hands-on activity, learners use patterns to make a teepee from newspaper that they sit inside.

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

In this math activity, learners trace their hands and estimate the number of beans that can fit into their hand tracings. Then, learners glue the beans to the tracing to test out their estimations.

In this hands-on activity, learners make New Year's Eve party hats out of wrapping paper. Learners use symmetry and measurement to cut out shapes they need to assemble the hats.

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.

Create airplanes from straws and geometric shapes. Test them out to see how far they can fly, or how accurately they can be aimed.

In this math lesson, learners play two different games to help them understand coordinates. First, learners read the book, "The Fly on the Ceiling," by Julie Glass.

In this activity, learners explore light and shadows by creating a lantern they can keep on their nightstand.
