In this math activity, learners use a variety of sensory modalities to gain experiences with identifying, describing and creating repeating patterns.

In this fun hands-on activity, learners whip up a batch of cyber-dough (play dough) using math for measurements.

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).

In this math activity, learners play a game similar to 20 Questions, in which learners must identify a secret number drawn from a bag.

In this activity, learners will be working with predictions with a time frame of one week, or longer. Start by planting seedlings.

In this math activity, learners estimate how many pennies are in a jar by predicting and counting handfuls of pennies.

In this activity, learners practice counting and multiplication as they figure out how many animal body parts they have to examine as "Dr. Vet."

In this activity, learners will keep track of how much they can do in one minute. Instructors can pick something everyone will do for a minute, such as jumping up and down or drawing stars.

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

In this activity (located on page 10 of the PDF), learners explore the properties of spraying and dripping water, while making art.

In this math game, learners solve a mind-twisting puzzle using dominoes. Use this activity to help learners practice counting, adding, and solving problems.

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.

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

In this activity, learners examine ways that Native Americans of the Southwest express their relationship with nature through art.

In this activity (on pages 49-54 of PDF), learners play with tangrams, a set of triangles, squares and a parallelogram that can combine into a larger square as well as all sorts of other shapes.

In this activity, learners compete to be the first to win twenty counting pieces. First, learners draw patterns on only one side of four craft sticks.

This is a deceptively simple game to teach strategy, planning, and pattern analysis. In this game, learners take turns removing tokens from a board, and develop a plan to take the last piece.

In this activity, learners investigate balance and symmetry by designing a symmetrical butterfly, using a paper cutout.

In this activity, learners explore patterns and sequences as they observe fictional plant growth.
