In this activity learners create patterns of hair beads.

In this activity (on pages 41-47 of PDF), learners explore tesselating geometric patterns (repeated shapes, similar to the art of M.C. Escher).

Straws and pipe cleaners are terrific materials for building models of pyramids and cubes.

These three short activities challenge groups to fit objects through paper and index cards: "Slots" presents the challenge for one learner to figure out which objects fit through a hole cut by another

In this tabletop activity (on pages 32-40), learners make Möbius strips -- 3D surfaces with only one side.

In this simple exploratory activity (1st activity on the page), blindfolded learners try to identify mystery items by smell.

In this activity, learners will engineer a new shape and use it to create a new pattern with no wasted space.

This activity gets learners looking at 6-sided shapes in nature, including the cells of a beehive, as well as other shapes.

Este Web site contiene links a 12 calendarios (12 meses). Cada mes contiene actividades sobre matemáticas.

In this quick activity/demonstration about density, learners examine what happens when two cans of root beer--one diet and one regular--are placed in a large container of water.

Create beautiful spirals by drawing a straight line. This sounds crazy, but you can with a turntable (a record player or lazy susan), paper, and pen.

In this activity, learners investigate just how small a billionth of a meter is by attempting to cut a paper ruler down to a nanometer-sized sliver.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of permeability to better understand why amphibians are extremely sensitive to pollution.

In this activity about tangrams, learners print and cut out their own tangram shapes and solve puzzles by fitting these geometric pieces together in a variety of ways.

In this craft activity, learners create a string of cut-out moons and stars.

In this activity, learners build bridges using paper and explore how much weight each bridge design can support.

En esta actividad, los aprendices usarán la lógica para ganar un juego. Dos personas toman turnos quitando uno o dos "cuerdas" de las estacas en el suelo.

In this activity, learners take a turn contributing a closed figure made of six squares to a large grid; each must be different from all the others on the grid so far.

Create airplanes from straws and geometric shapes. Test them out to see how far they can fly, or how accurately they can be aimed.

This activity puts a mathematical twist on the familiar “guessing jar.” No guesses allowed, estimates only.
