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

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

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.

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

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

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 experiment with the concept of symmetry.

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

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 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 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 math activity, learners create symmetrical designs for paper models of special blouses known as huipiles.

This PDF contains 12 calendars (12 months). Each month contains activities about math. Things to do on familiar holidays (like July 4), less common holidays (like Backward Day), and any day.

In this activity, learners make cool boxes out of old (or new) greeting cards or postcards.

In this math lesson, learners use the setting of a flower-making fundraiser to explore a variety of patterns. Learners examine the patterns in a flower design made of triangles surrounding a square.

In this activity, learners get hands-on experience with ratios and scaling while making their own jewelry out of recycled plastic containers.

In this math lesson, learners arrange pattern blocks to create tessellations and to explore geometric patterns. Learners first explore making patterns with a variety of pattern blocks.

In this math lesson, learners explore tessellations through literature, music, writing, and art activities.
