In this math activity, learners use a variety of sensory modalities to gain experiences with identifying, describing and creating repeating patterns.

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, learners create their own constellations and star patterns and write a short, descriptive story explaining the significance of their star pattern/constellation.

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

In this activity, learners create a mind and math puzzle that requires a three-dimensional solution.

In this activity, learners use a laser pointer and two small rotating mirrors to create a variety of fascinating patterns, which can be easily and dramatically projected on a wall or screen.

In this activity, learners of all ages will experiment with paint and printmaking.

In this math lesson, learners use the setting of a flower-making fundraiser to explore a variety of patterns. Learners examine the patterns in a flower design made of triangles surrounding a square.

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

Create beautiful spirals by drawing a straight line. This sounds crazy, but you can with a turntable (a record player or lazy susan), paper, and pen.

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

Computers store drawings, photographs, and other pictures using only numbers. Through this activity, learners decode numbers to create pictures using the same process that computers use.

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 craft activity, learners create a string of cut-out moons and stars.

Make two firefly lanterns, then program them to blink to one another and change colors.

In this activity, learners use a laser pointer and two small rotating mirrors to create a variety of fascinating patterns, which can be easily and dramatically projected on a wall or screen.

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

Wheels aren't the only things that can "roll" objects that are placed on top of it. Make non-intuitive shapes from cutouts and a compass to demonstrate this.

This math challenge, played with two players or a whole group, engages your problem solving skills.

In this activity, learners examine ways that Native Americans of the Southwest express their relationship with nature through art.
