In this great hands-on activity, learners use patterns to make a teepee from newspaper that they sit inside.

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.

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

In this math lesson, learners arrange pattern blocks to create tessellations and to explore geometric patterns. Learners first explore making patterns with a variety of pattern blocks.

Use geometry, a ruler, and a steady hand to create these amazing unfurling paper folds!

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 activity, learners use pattern blocks and mirrors to explore symmetry. Learners work in pairs and build mirror images of each other's designs.

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.

In this activity, learners design unique tiles and make repeating patterns to create tessellations. This activity combines the creativity of an art project with the challenge of solving a puzzle.

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

In this activity, learners get hands-on with geometry by making a polyhedron kitty sculpture.

In this activity, learners slide shapes to create unusual tiled patterns.
