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

Exploring Tessellations (Grades 3-5)
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners repeat patterns in two and three dimensions to create tessellations.

Carbon Configurations
Source Institutions
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.

Exploring Tessellations (Grades K-2)
Source Institutions
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.

Gumdrop Dome
Source Institutions
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.

How to Test The Strength of Shapes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the strength of different shapes. Fold paper into triangles, squares, and other shapes, then experiment with how much weight they can hold.
