In this activity, young learners will explore shapes, textures, and geometries using household materials.

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

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

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

Is a square stronger than a triangle? Use tongue depressors to build simple shapes. Then apply a little weight to them and see what happens!

In this activity, learners use things from the kitchen as building materials to explore how shapes contribute to the strength of different structures.

This is an activity about discovering the colors and beauty of nature. Learners will spend time outdoors, matching paint chip samples, colored paper, or colors of clothing to those found in nature.

In this activity, learners use tangrams ( 7-piece puzzle tiles) to assemble a variety of shapes. Tangrams are ideal for improving spatial reasoning and geometry properties.

In this hands-on activity, learners use toothpicks to build different triangles and squares and then use the toothpicks to build and solve some tricky shape puzzles.

In this activity, learners construct three quick and simple mechanisms to start building a pop-up book. Learners fold, cut, and glue paper to make a bird beak, parallelogram, and V-fold.

This website contains several activities. Mixing in Math Moments are activities that take 5-10 minutes that keep learners occupied, learning about the world, and using math on their own.

This assortment of mathematical games can be played while traveling.

In this engineering activity, learners construct sturdy geodesic structures out of gumdrops and toothpicks. Use this activity to explore engineering principles as well as sturdy shapes and triangles.

In this activity, learners explore the strength of different shapes. Fold paper into triangles, squares, and other shapes, then experiment with how much weight they can hold.
