This website contains several activities. Mixing in Math Moments are activities that take 5-10 minutes that keep learners occupied, learning about the world, and using math on their own.

In this fun hands-on activity, learners whip up a batch of cyber-dough (play dough) using math for measurements.

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

In this activity, young learners and their caregivers use non-standard tools, like M&Ms and paper clips, to measure things around their home.

This assortment of mathematical games can be played while traveling.

These math posters have questions written on them, such as: How many colors can you name in a minute? or How many seconds can you balance on one foot?

Put math of measurement into lining up — and make waiting in line fun. Choose a size characteristic that learners can physically compare, such as foot length or hair length.

In this activity, learners will explore how and why weight distribution works.

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 compare their own strength to ants through a series of physical tests.

In this activity, caregivers and young learners work together to make a scale from household materials to compare different weights--an essential principle in early math.

In this math game, learners solve a mind-twisting puzzle using dominoes. Use this activity to help learners practice counting, adding, and solving problems.

In this math activity, learners make and explore patterns using the letters in their names, a grid, and some colors.

In this math lesson, learners rotate through various centers while comparing and ordering objects according to length.

In this activity, learners will explore two-dimensional shapes that are found in three-dimensional shapes. Learners will explore geometry, design, color and tool use through this activity.

In this math activity, learners play a game and use a variety of strategies to solve a hidden number problem (or missing factor). Learners practice their number and operations skills.

In this game, learners use clues to identify mystery shapes. Use everyday objects (like from the pantry) as the shapes.

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

In this math activity, learners use a "function machine" to collect and organize simple data. The function machine in this case is a cardboard box and the input/output data are paper fish.

In this math activity, each learner creates a book about themselves using a template. Learners discuss the different parts of the body and practice measuring their body parts using crayons.
