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

In this activity, learners slide shapes to create unusual tiled patterns.

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 three-part math activity, learners explore shapes. In part one, learners identify, describe, and classify two-dimensional shapes.

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.

Learners determine the surface area and volume of two identical boxes, and then figure out the dimensions of a cubical box with the same volume.

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 measure the length of a shadow and use the distance from the equator to calculate the circumference of the earth.

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

In this demonstration, learners attempt to get a large coin through a small hole, the size of a smaller coin.

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

In this activity (page 10 of PDF), learners approximate the area of the uppermost cross section of an impact crater using a variety of square grids.

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 investigate how geometry plays a role in perspective.

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

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

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.
