Party Hat Symmetry
Source Institutions
In this hands-on activity, learners make New Year's Eve party hats out of wrapping paper. Learners use symmetry and measurement to cut out shapes they need to assemble the hats.
Tessellations
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will engineer a new shape and use it to create a new pattern with no wasted space.
Tri, Tri Again
Source Institutions
Learners estimate how many small triangles will fill a larger shape. Then they use a triangle stamp (or stencil made from a file folder) to fill the larger shape with triangles.
Experimenting with Symmetry
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use pattern blocks and mirrors to explore symmetry. Learners work in pairs and build mirror images of each other's designs.
Symmetry Fold-Overs
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners experiment with the concept of symmetry.
Making Tangram Pieces by Folding Paper
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners follow step-by-step directions for making tangram pieces out of folded and torn paper. First, learners read "Grandfather Tang's Story" by Ann Tompert.
Bubble Sculpting
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners develop spatial reasoning skills as they blow bubbles and observe what happens when the bubbles connect.
Patches the Cat: A Print-and-Build Paper Sculpture Kit
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners get hands-on with geometry by making a polyhedron kitty sculpture.
Burst a Bubble
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will create their own bubble solution. Learners will explore chemistry, geometry and trial and error through this activity.
