Players take turns adding shapes made of three squares to a grid. They try to fit their shapes on the grid in a way that blocks the other player.

In this activity, young learners will explore shapes, textures, and geometries using household materials.

In this calculus activity, learners use a classic problem of geometrical probability to find an important mathematical constant (pi).

In this game, learners are stuck in a right turn only world! Learners take turns rolling a die and moving their game pieces along the lines of a grid to get "home," by only making right turns.

As learners play this challenging strategy game, they build understanding of area and perimeter. On each turn, a player draws a line between two dots next to each other on the grid.

In this math activity, learners observe and sketch cracking patterns in pavement.

This strategy game has simple rules but can be a challenge. Players start with an empty hexagonal grid. On each turn, a player initials one empty hexagon on the grid.

As learners play this game, they develop logic, geometry, and spatial visualization skills. Players start out with an empty hexagonal grid.

In this activity, learners use geometry to predict the shape of carbon. Learners twist and attach chenille stem pieces that represent bonds between different carbon atoms.

In this activity, learners will explore how maps can provide information about a place and help us find our way from one location to another.

In this activity, learners will measure the length of a shadow and use the distance from the equator to calculate the circumference of the earth.

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 geometry activity, learners explore networks painted on playgrounds, such as a four square court, and draw their own.

In this activity, learners use cooperation and logical thinking to find solutions to network problems on the playground.

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 activity, learners build Peppy the dog the best trail and park for running around.

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

If you have 3-foot dowels and rubber bands, you can can started on this fun and open design challenge. You can make structures big and small: make it so you can fit your parent into it!

In this engineering activity, learners construct sturdy geodesic structures out of gumdrops and toothpicks. Use this activity to explore engineering principles as well as sturdy shapes and triangles.

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.
