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

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.

In this activity, learners create a mind and math puzzle that requires a three-dimensional solution.

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.

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 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 and explore patterns using the letters in their names, a grid, and some colors.

In this mathematics activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners will explore the relationship between the diameter and circumference of an object.

In this math activity, learners observe and sketch cracking patterns in pavement.

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

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 math activity, learners experiment with the concept of symmetry.

In this math lesson, learners investigate fractions by playing a game.

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

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.
