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 activity, learners construct three math puzzles out of simple materials like wood, string, and Styrofoam.

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

In this Cyberchase activity, learners use math to explore how parts of the body are proportional.

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

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?

These math posters have questions written on them, such as: How fast can a cheetah run? or How long can a giant tortoise live? Post these around the room or leave them out for children to explore.

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.

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 math activity, learners make a set of fraction cards to play a game that will help relieve their fraction frustrations.

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, challenge learners to make two equal rows from eight different paper strips. Learners can explore the many ways they can solve this problem.

In this meteorological activity, learners get to build their very own anemometer (instrument for measuring wind speed) using a paper cup.

This simple but open-ended math game introduces basic probability concepts using coins and dice. Players roll the dice and collect coins to match the number rolled.

In this math lesson, learners use slices of bread and geoboards to explore several ways to divide a rectangle in half. Learners also identify equivalent fractions that represent one-half.

In this activity, learners use number sense and mental math strategies to estimate the price of a sign.
