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.

Can I Get Some Pi?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore pi and the mathematical relationships between a circle's diameter, circumference, and radius.
The Same Names
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners make and explore patterns using the letters in their names, a grid, and some colors.

Guess My Rule
Source Institutions
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.

Geometric Solids
Source Institutions
This math activity exposes early learners to a variety of three-dimensional objects. Learners bring geometric solids (everyday objects) from home.
More Bubbles!
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners make their own bubble wands and determine if the size of the wand affects the number of bubbles it produces.

Blazing the Trail
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners estimate distances between landmarks and use a map and scales to determine the actual distances.
