Discover the wind's direction using bubbles, a map and a keen eye. Learners blow bubbles and note their general direction on a map, taking readings from different points around a building.

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

In this activity, learners explore a surprising method for calculating the mathematical constant pi, known as Buffon's Needle.

In this two-part math lesson, learners investigate problems that foster algebraic thinking across content strands. In the first part, learners explore even and odd numbers linked to quilts.

In this activity, learners investigate the reflective properties of light and mirrors as they make a kaleidoscope.

In this activity, learners use a string and pair of scissors to find pi in the world all around them. Take the circumference of a round object with string and cut the string to that length.

In this activity, learners use transparent tape and polarizing material to create and project beautifully colored patterns reminiscent of abstract or geometric stained glass windows--no glass required

Combine math and exercise with this activity. Learners count how many times in a row they can skip rope or throw and catch a ball.

In this activity, learners make plaster casts of an animal track to learn more about animals and animal behavior.

In this activity, learners will estimate how many seeds are in a fruit or vegetable, then count to find out. The result: mix estimation with healthy eating.

Get a roll of pennies, throw them on the ground, then remove those that only show tails, and repeat with the ones left over.

In this activity, learners compete to be the first to win twenty counting pieces. First, learners draw patterns on only one side of four craft sticks.

This is a deceptively simple game to teach strategy, planning, and pattern analysis. In this game, learners take turns removing tokens from a board, and develop a plan to take the last piece.

In this activity (located on page 10 of the PDF), learners explore the properties of spraying and dripping water, while making art.

This is a quick game about self-assembly (page 2 of PDF under Self-Assembly Activity). Like the molecules of DNA, learners will self-assemble into a pattern by following a simple set of rules.

In this math activity, learners find patterns in telephone numbers.

In this game, learners strategize to be the first player to make three in a row.

In this activity, learners investigate whether more people are squares or rectangles. People with similarly sized heights and arm spans are classified as squares.

In this activity, learners play a guessing game to explore classification.

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