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

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.

In this activity, learners create 3D geometric shapes using straws and pipe cleaners.

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, learners slide shapes to create unusual tiled patterns.

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.

In this math lesson, learners participate in a variety of activities that give them experience in recognizing, describing, and extending repeating and arithmetic patterns.

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

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, early learners combine pre-cut recognizable shapes and their own abstract ideas to make representational pictures (e.g. houses, trees, shoes).

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.

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

In this activity, learners repeat patterns in two and three dimensions to create tessellations.

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.

Create your own spinning top, and explore color, shapes and spinning. This activity contains instructions for making your spinning top, and tips on how to design and decorate it.

In this math activity, learners experiment with the concept of symmetry.

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

In this activity, learners will explore two-dimensional shapes that are found in three-dimensional shapes. Learners will explore geometry, design, color and tool use through this activity.

In this activity, learners build a paper stellated rhombic dodecahedron, a three-dimensional 12-pointed star.
