In this activity, learners will put a set of containers in order by capacity. Would the tallest container hold more or less water than the wide, short one?

In this activity, learners will divide into teams or groups of equal size. “How many teams of three can we make?” “We need an equal number of children at each of the four computers.

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

In this activity, learners cut a shape into two equal sized pieces and use their knowledge of geometry and space to prove that the two parts are equal.

In this math activity, learners create their own units of measurement by making noodle rulers. Learners practice estimating and measuring objects using the noodle rulers .

In this activity, learners engineer a flying glider using paper hoops and a drinking straw.

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 activity, learners use recycled materials to build a bridge that holds as many potatoes as possible. They investigate weight, height, strength, and measurement as they seek design solutions.

In this activity, learners will build the highest tower they can out of recycled materials.

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

In this engineering activity (page 2 of PDF), young learners investigate how a wide base can make a building more stable. Learners use blocks or boxes of different sizes to construct stable towers.
