In this activity, learners create three-dimensional shapes by making some origami models of simple boxes and containers.

In this activity, learners of all ages will experiment with paint and printmaking.

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 activity, learners build inexpensive kaleidoscopes using transparency paper and foil (instead of mirrors).

In this Cyberchase activity, learners make carpenter's squares and use them to measure square corners. Learners cut out the carpenter's square template and attach it to tagboard.

In this Cyberchase activity, use grid coordinates to share secret pictures with a friend. Color squares of a grid to make a picture (like a smiley face) that you keep hidden from the other person.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF) has learners create models of butterfly wings.

In this activity, learners will experiment with textures, shapes, and materials and create their own unique masterpieces.

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 create an optical illusion top. Learners will explore color mixing, physics and design through this activity.

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.

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.

Learners make a counting/estimating jar to exchange with friends or bring home.

In this activity, learners investigate balance and symmetry by designing a symmetrical butterfly, using a paper cutout.

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

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 develop spatial reasoning skills as they blow bubbles and observe what happens when the bubbles connect.

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

In this art/science/math activity, young learners are introduced to the concept of symmetry in nature.
