In this activity, learners create three-dimensional shapes by making some origami models of simple boxes and containers.

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

In this activity, caregivers and young learners work together to craft and talk about shapes and relative positions of such shapes by creating a mobile.

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 will explore two-dimensional shapes that are found in three-dimensional shapes. Learners will explore geometry, design, color and tool use through this activity.

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

Learners grow sugar crystals (rock candy). They make a hot solution that has an excess of sugar dissolved in it, then as the solution cools, they see sugar crystals form.

In this activity, learners create 3D geometric shapes using straws and pipe cleaners.

In this activity, learners use things from the kitchen as building materials to explore how shapes contribute to the strength of different structures.

This is an activity about discovering the colors and beauty of nature. Learners will spend time outdoors, matching paint chip samples, colored paper, or colors of clothing to those found in nature.

In this activity, learners explore how pictures change in curved mirrors. Learners make cylindrical mirrors by wrapping Mylar around soda cans.

In this activity, learners make different shapes that hold exactly one mole of gas (air).

In this hands-on activity, learners use toothpicks to build different triangles and squares and then use the toothpicks to build and solve some tricky shape puzzles.

In this activity, early learners combine pre-cut recognizable shapes and their own abstract ideas to make representational pictures (e.g. houses, trees, shoes).

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.

This hands-on activity shows you how to build basic architectural shapes out of toothpicks and gumdrops.

In this engineering activity, learners construct sturdy geodesic structures out of gumdrops and toothpicks. Use this activity to explore engineering principles as well as sturdy shapes and triangles.

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.
