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 math activity (page 5 of the pdf), learners will help a secret agent crack a case by solving math problems.

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 fun math activity (page 1 of the pdf), learners exercise the creative part of their brain by trying to describe a number without mentioning the actual number (for instance, the number 12 could

This is a lesson plan for an activity in which learners, playing the role of archeologists, use math concepts about number bases to decipher the Dresden Codex, an ancient Mayan document.

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?

In this fun hands-on activity, learners use simple materials to investigate evaporation. How can the evaporation of water on a hot day be used to cool an object? Find out the experimental way!

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 pi and the mathematical relationships between a circle's diameter, circumference, and radius.

In this math activity, learners will create a scale diagram of their backyard or other outdoor area on graph paper.

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.

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.

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.
