In this math activity, learners use a variety of sensory modalities to gain experiences with identifying, describing and creating repeating patterns.

In this activity, learners get hands-on experience with ratios and scaling while making their own jewelry out of recycled plastic containers.

In this math lesson, learners use the setting of a flower-making fundraiser to explore a variety of patterns. Learners examine the patterns in a flower design made of triangles surrounding a square.

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

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

In this activity, learners build mini-basketball courts and explore the laws of physics. Learners discover that everything you throw or shoot on earth travels in a parabola.

In this activity, learners will predict the size of a giant scale model of a comb or other rectangular object, then make one. If you tripled the size of a dollar bill, could you sit on it?

In this activity, learners follow simple directions to explore and create platonic solids.

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

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

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

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 activity, learners explore the concept of rotational equilibrium. Learners work in teams to estimate and determine the force within a mobile design.

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

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