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

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.

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!

In this math-based activity, learners will experiment to find how height and angle affect spatter and then use this knowledge to solve a crime.

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 game, learners try to earn the most points by winning stacks of four dice. Learners practice number recognition and addition skills.

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 play a game to identify the properties of prime, composite, abundant, deficient and perfect numbers.

In this math lesson, learners identify the likelihood of an event by using a walk-on probability scale.

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 activity, learners explore probability as they play a game. Learners will categorize everyday events as either impossible, possible or certain.

In this math activity, learners play two versions of a card game and decide what makes a game fair. Learners also practice addition and subtraction skills.

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, learners play a game and try to be the first player to identify their partner's rule. Learners identify the rule by finding commonalities between three familiar objects.

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 fruit to learn about proportions and percentages. Learners compare the weights of the edible and non-edible portions of fruit.
