This simple construction activity teaches the importance of architectural structure. Learners build and test designs for a paper "doghouse" strong enough to hold the weight of a jumbo dog biscuit.

Discover geometry by creating shapes from loops of paper. In this activity, paper loops transform to give you totally new structures when you cut them.

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

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.

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 math activity, learners experiment with the concept of symmetry.

In this activity, learners make a device called a phenakistoscope, which displays a continuously looping animation consisting of images drawn onto a spinning disc.

In this math lesson, learners explore tessellations through literature, music, writing, and art activities.

In this three-part math activity, learners explore shapes. In part one, learners identify, describe, and classify two-dimensional shapes.

In this activity, learners develop spatial reasoning skills as they blow bubbles and observe what happens when the bubbles connect.

In this math activity, learners create symmetrical designs for paper models of special blouses known as huipiles.

In this activity, learners arrange triangles together to make patterns to create paper quilts. Learners experiment with arranging the triangles in different ways to make various designs.

In this activity (on pages 55-66 of PDF), learners fold paper into origami shapes and then combine several identical shapes into a three-dimensional structure.

Build a house you can fit inside, using cardboard tubes.

In this activity, learners repeat patterns in two and three dimensions to create tessellations. This activity combines the creativity of an art project with the challenge of solving a puzzle.

In this activity, learners will create their own bubble solution. Learners will explore chemistry, geometry and trial and error through this activity.

In this three-day lesson, learners identify two-dimensional shapes used in castle construction, create a castle collage using assorted shapes, and design tapestries using repeated patterns of color, s
