In this activity, learners make pretend snakes and use them to explore estimation and measurement. Learners roll out clay snakes and estimate and measure their lengths and diameters.

In this indoor and/or outdoor activity, learners make an anemometer (an instrument to measure wind speed) out of a protractor, a ping pong ball and a length of thread or fishing line.

Learners describe objects in a room using only numbers and shapes. They can measure the object (like a desk) and make a list of facts about it (e.g.

In this international citizen science activity, learners measure their night sky brightness and submit their observations into an online database.

In this activity, learners develop an understanding of cylinders and volume as they compare two sizes of popcorn buckets.

In this activity, learners will decide together on a question about how far, long or high the group could reach together.

In this activity, learners use their estimation skills to match the unmarked containers to their amounts.

In this activity, learners will build thier own balance scale. Learners will explore weight and comparison through this activity.

Yes, you can weigh your car by figuring out your wheel's tire pressure combined with the "tire's footprint." You'll need someone with a car, driver's license, and safety in mind.

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 build Peppy the dog the best trail and park for running around.

In this hands-on activity, learners make New Year's Eve party hats out of wrapping paper. Learners use symmetry and measurement to cut out shapes they need to assemble the hats.
