This simple construction activity teaches the importance of architectural structure. Learners build and test designs for a paper "doghouse" strong enough to hold the weight of a jumbo dog biscuit.

Discover geometry by creating shapes from loops of paper. In this activity, paper loops transform to give you totally new structures when you cut them.

In this math lesson, learners identify, describe, and construct the five regular polyhedra.

In this activity, learners add squares to paper dominoes to make polyominoes.

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

In this activity, learners play a game and use pattern blocks to explore mirror images and reflection.

In this activity, learners explore geometry and spatial relationships as they figure out how to arrange tables for a party.

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

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 discover how to rotate a flat shape into the third dimension. Learners draw and cut out a shape that has at least one straight edge on an index card.

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

In this activity, learners explore the structural strength of triangles by creating their own free-standing geodesic dome out of plastic straws.

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

In this activity, learners cutout a set of shape finder templates to explore shapes in the world around them.

In this activity, learners investigate how geometry plays a role in perspective.

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

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, learners will create their own bubble solution. Learners will explore chemistry, geometry and trial and error through this activity.

In this activity, learners practice drawing 3D structures in two dimensions. Learners draw cube stacks from five different points of view.

Here's a very simple activity if you have paper and scissors: make one cut, unfold, and you have a beautiful star! A great way to learn about polygons and origami mathematics.
