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.

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

In this math activity, learners use what they know about shapes to copy a friend's hidden picture. Learners create a design out of pattern blocks and then hide their picture behind a screen.

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.

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

These three short activities challenge groups to fit objects through paper and index cards: "Slots" presents the challenge for one learner to figure out which objects fit through a hole cut by another

In this activity, learners discover how NASA engineers develop experimental aircraft.

In this hands-on activity, learners make New Year's Eve party hats out of wrapping paper. Learners use symmetry and measurement to cut out shapes they need to assemble the hats.

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

In this activity, learners will engineer a new shape and use it to create a new pattern with no wasted space.

In this activity, learners cut a shape into two equal sized pieces and use their knowledge of geometry and space to prove that the two parts are equal.

In this math activity, learners create symmetrical designs for paper models of special blouses known as huipiles.

In this three-day lesson, learners identify two-dimensional shapes used in castle construction, create a castle collage using assorted shapes, and design tapestries using repeated patterns of color, s

In this activity, learners find as many combinations of a hundred as they can using various puzzle pieces from a hundred square grid paper.

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

In this four-day lesson, learners identify three-dimensional forms in castle design, research different parts of the castle with a focus on their uses, and design and enlarge a banner for the great ha

In this activity (on pages 55-66 of PDF), learners fold paper into origami shapes and then combine several identical shapes into a three-dimensional structure.

In this activity, learners get hands-on with geometry by making a polyhedron kitty sculpture.

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